    Share Share Post
    Twas on the 12th night of November in the year of 33.
    I crossed the old Rag River some pleasures for it to see.
    The night being nice and warm
    I thought I'd take a chance to go down to Derravona to Oweny Reilly's dance.
    We had Miss Mae and the two Miss Wallaces a jolly lot of girls and Kitty would win a hurley.
