   (continued from previous page)

   I'm covered o'er with rags
   But some fine day I will go away
   And seek a better job
   And I'll bid adieu to Ballagh
   And the jackass in the bog.

   The neat little stream floes gentle and keen Through the west of Park Valley and famed Turrakeen When you are passing it by in the want of a drop Call in to Jim Daveann's public shop Tis there you get porter and whiskey galore The best in old Ireland is sold in Rossmore.

   If you Tommy Moore had no shoes to your feet
   A hungry stomach and nothing to eat
   To sleep in Doyle's barn without blankets or sheet
   You would not give a damn
   Where the Bright Waters meet.
