  1. Mage 44 (Cowl) 385
    lVerses di
    One morning fair for to take the air
    For to view the lakes of Killarney
    I met a pretty maid
    And she combing down her hair
    And thinkin’ of me and my darling.
    Jack Hanlou the piper
    Was once in the Union
    With his wallet and skoow [?]
    every morning
    He’d ale as much grall
    As Croneen’s old mule
    And he was called the brule
    By the Guardians. [?]
    The National Bey from the Bonds
    Jim the Lurin the playboy
    He is tiring cows’ legs and cows’ crubeen [?]
    And he’s at them every day boy.
    “Donnelly and his family.”
    This song is about the Donnelly’s house. The wake came and undermined (it) the bog and the boy moved and carried off the house.
