On Sunday we, each lively boys,
Would step the Hornpipe.
Those Jigs and Reels we did enjoy,
And danced with wild delight.
"Follow me down to Carlow"
and "windsome Bunny Kate"
The "wind that shakes the barley grain",
"The pigeon on the gate".
VI
Those sports were on the velvet green,
And down the river side.
The football match, the hurling team,
And crowds from far and wide.
Those manly boys came down the hill,
For dancing on the dell,
The co[?]lins fair came oer the glens
Of lovely heather Bell.
VII
The crowd would join the country dance,
When Sunday's sports were oer.
The laden pair was lovely Nance,
And Jack from Poulanore.
The evening breeze was cool and grand.
The violin music sweet,
For dancing on the rivers bank.(continues on next page)- Collector
