“One morning, One morning, One morning, one day.”
(continued from previous page)A Priest named Father Callery made this song. it is about ten years since it was made.
I
One morning. One morning, One morning, one day.
Pat t the breakfast to the Mrs did say.
I'm going to the fair, I'll be back before night.
And the devil a bit of me will bring a light.
She said Pat bring a light.
II
That evening, That evening, That evening that night
Pat saw three moons and he thought it was bright.
Stepping into his cart.
Sure he started to go,
When a bivie behind him shouted "Wo Wo
Oh where is your light."
III
A light sir, A light sir, a Light sir that's right,
If I search all my pockets oh maybe I might.
He searched all his pockets "bedad sure I have one."
Come come said the bivie I'm not here for fun.
Saying "oh where is your light"
IV
You're not here for fun nor neither am I.
And the best thing you'll do is to let me pass by.(continues on next page)
