  1. Once upon a time a man named
    Mick Furlong, (Raheen, Adamstown)
    went to New Ross.
    He got drunk, and he was
    walking along the Quay, and
    he fell into the River Barrow.
    Some men got him out.
    When they got him out he said
    "Ha, the little river of Ross wasn't
    able drownd Furlong."
