    The weather it was stormy.
    It was in the winter time.
    There was roads to make
    And stones to break.
    To mix up scattered lime.
    You must be a good servant
    And do the best you can
    for I greatly fear
    You won't be here
    says Brady of Kilan.
    So then I heard my sentence passed.
    With sorrow I did sup
    At five o'clock next morning
    He shouted 'John get up'.
    The boy I had beforeOh Lord ' be with him Dan
    One call is all your ever got
    With Brady of Kilan.
