    1. Evening grey and morning red
    Sends the shepherds wet to bed.
    2. When a cock goes crowing to bed
    He wakes with a watery head
    3. A fog in the hollow - a fine day tomorrow.
    A fog on the hill brings water to the mill.
    4. The wind that blows from the north-east
    Be neither good for man or beast.
    5. Evening red and morning grey,
    Sends the traveller on his way.
    6. Rain, rain, go to Slane
    And never come back again.
    7. A mackerel sky is neither too wet nor too dry.
