A Song of a Wake (continued)
“In a little Irish town where all trade were running down”
(continued from previous page)and the gently laid poor paddy in the hole.
Pat could see just as well as you or me.
There was going to be no sorrow for his end.
So when the clods began to hop
Pat broke up the coffin top and quickly to the bank he did ascend.
He made an awful blunder,
He went very near been under
Only just like you or me he was not dead.
