  1. (continued from previous page)
    To have this sad misfortune
    Down by "the old carways"
    10
    At six o'clock with all down tools
    We all far home did start
    With all sorts of conveyances
    From a bicycle to a cart
    Oh! I never will forget the day
    I roamed o'er hills and braes
    Along with all jolly friends
    Down by "the old carways
