- (continued from previous page)I dont do such things on sunday now
If you wait till I put on my pants
Then you man you might have a chance
- If you ever are travellin' near hell,
Just stop and look in at the corner.
It's there you'll see ould Major Sir
And Jimmy O'Brien the informer.
But if you have time to look on
You'll see somethin' that's ten times more plazin'.
It's there you'll see ould Major Swan
In the gulf of perdition all blazin'.The gates of hell flew open
And the devil danced with joy
Saying your welcome Mr Critchley
All the way from Baltiboy. - Collector
