A Song (continued)
“There Hangan's Shangan's Hangan's too.”
(continued from previous page)And give me a prize of a gallon of beer.
He placed the old Budget down in the hall.
'Twas very soon after the child gave a bawl,
The pawnbroker started and said to his wife,
There is a child in the budget I wage you my life.
The budget was opened without much delay,
There was the child and he wrapt up in a small scrap of hay.
Says Mrs. Dupphin you have a long purse,
You must mind the infant until you get a name,
The town it was searched the tinker was got, the pawnbroker settled and gave him a pound.
A Song
“A I roved out one evening down by the riverside.”
As I roved out one evening down by the river side, I heard a maid complaining as the tears rolled from her eyes,
It was a cold and stormy night my love to me did say?,
My love lies on the region seas bound for America.
John Rilly is my true love name lives near the town of Bray,
My Mam'na took me my the hand and those word to me did say,
If you me fond Rilly let him quit this country,
For this very night to take his life so shun his company.(continues on next page)
