    (continued from previous page)
    So we'll have better times in old Ireland again
    They are the prayers of poor Catherine Carley
    xi
    Every farmer and publican that live around here,
    Should support Mr. Cherry by drinking his beer
    For he helped the poor farmer to tide o'er last year
    By giving a price for the barley.

    Composed by,
    Michael O'Brien,
    "Rambling bard"
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
