   The following song I got from Mr Sean Grogan, Longford Technical School. It was written by Darby Ryan, Poet, of Ashgrove, Bansha Co Tipperary on a "Saor-Seán" called Tomas O Duibhir. Saor-Seán is the term applied to a cheap-jack of a fellow, a pedlar, or a tailor of poor ability. (1) A Thomáis Uí Duibhir, a shaor-seánaigh, Do ghluais uaim dtí 'n Báinseach ar strae, Gan carradh, gan éadach, gan árus Gan cruinneas, gan fághaltas, gan céird ********************************************** (Tá line ar iarraid annso) Is gearr nuair a chlúdaigh sé a chnámha Go raibh cúram mná air gan spré A's a ancoir (anchor) do chaith sé sa mBáinsig Mar a raibh 'na mhaighistear é féin. (This was taken down from Domnaillín Beag O Riain, Ros an Droicid, Báinseach about 1905 by Seán Grogan. (Féach Thall)
