- (continued from previous page)Chorus. The boys of the Glen find the greatest delight
In doing some mischief as tricks every night
They're the d-ls outside but they're saintly within
Those terrible big hearted boys of the Glen.And last chorus ends up with
Tell me, who travelled through thick or through thin
To raise a good row with the boys of the Glen.
- A young girl remained on the fireplace one night, when all had gone to bed, to wash her feet. It was late about 11.30 or so and as she was washing, a big lump of soot about a stone weight fell down and into the basin. She left the basin and all there and ran off inside her mother [?]to bed and when morning came, the basin had been emptied and cleaned and there was no trace of soot on the hearth.
