“An ould woman lived near Browner's of Camross, Foulksmills, Co Wexford (Bantry).”
An ould woman lived near Browner's of Camross, Foulksmills, Co Wexford (Bantry)
She used to be going with the fairies.
Any night she would not go into Browners, they would say she was gone with the fairies
This night she did not come in, and the next night she didn't come, and the third night she came, and they asked her where she was the nights before.
"Oh", sez she, "I was all over the country and I was in your cowhouse, and only for me one of your cows would be dead."
The mark "we" left on her, I took it off and left it on the cock.
The cock was dead next morning. As sure as that pipe in in my hand that happened.
