Local Songs (continued)
“But when I came to Kearneys I found a great surprise.”
(continued from previous page)from Higgins to Blighs
But when I came to Kearneys
I found a big surprise
On Tuesday morning early
I started operating
I filled the boiler to the brim
and found it was a failure
Firt I gave to flour and then
I gave it bran
But when I found it was a failure
I sent for Gilbert's man
Next mornign early a taxie
did appear
Stand wide boys said Larry
Here is the engineer.
Told by Patrick Newman, Wood, Kildalkey.
Local Songs
“One evening for pleasure I once took a stroll”
Alsa the page of Moore's this year
is craped in garb of woe
For Meath's great bard and gifted seer, that Meath ahs called to go
With regretful thoughts, my sympathy
sadly contemplate
For one of the most Dear to memory was Geraghty
