Local Song
“It wa not long since I cut my stick and started”
It was not long ago since I cut my stick and started
To Doon as you all know with Bonhams to the market
I was shaved up to the chin as if going to a marriage
And all the girls used to grin saying haven't Pat a darling carriage
Chorus
With my too ral oo ral a too ral oo ral I
ro too Ral oo Ral a Rak fol the de ral I ro
I rambled down the town and back again towards Hayes'es.
To see how were the pigs they were as dear as blazes
I came up to my car when up came Judy Mara
Yera Pat says she a gra
What for the speckled barrow
Thirty bob says I says she here is nine and twenty
Up comes Tom Moloy and says pon my soul tis plenty
Chorus
I will not break your word but they are a cheap as water
I'll have the second and third says Jerry Darby's daughter(continues on next page)
