  1. Poor Ould K.B.

    Share Share Post
    God be good to poor ould Kitty
    sure her sowl is gone to rest.
    Peter Furlong bought the twelve ould
    hens and placed them with the rest.
    He choked the poor ould black one and he putting her in the car,
    he said it would not matter she
    would be plucked by Willie Barr.
    Katey could not keep them because
    they would neither set nor lay and
    all the yellow mail and feeding
    was all going a stray.
    Matty Hore and Biddy, Myles's
    daughter Nan and a smilen plate
    of pap before Andys Mary Ann.
    They threshed a stack of corn
    with Ned Cullens mighty power.
