  1. The Little Boy Dressed in Grey

    I
    Jally-ho the game is on there's another grabber down.
    His name is Dan the harveys man, it;s the latest news in town.
    In spite of all the peelers I hear the people say.
    He was shot down outside the town by the little boy dressed in grey.
    II
    Being fond of tin he drove those men to eviction all around.
    The common glen, Your and Purt no others can be found.He wasn't content with his devilment till he drove them to Athea.In that same trot he received a shot from the little boy dressed in grey.
    This verse was given to me by my father-Michael Sheehan
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
