“Have ye heard of Moll Doudle”
Authority: Chrissie Rohan, HermitageHave ye heard of Moll Doudle
O’ Wallace’s ass
Or Dinnie the Bowry from
Paddy Bill’s cross
Or that rogue of an ass
That belongs to Pat Shyne
He could not hold a candle
to Flannery Brian.II
This ass could not be (fork)
tackled without a long
And kicking the car he’ll
do six asses work.
He was fed on the best
of the skins at each meal
He’d collar ‘em up and wag
his old tail.III
Not a fence in the Parish
his thieving could stop.(continues on next page)- Informant
