An Old Song (continued)
“In the year 1765 Poet Prady who was a native of this district was arrested and put in prison for selling poteen”
(continued from previous page)I believe old acquentance your certainly right.
The would surely do all in their power
The bedgride us to have a moments delight
Besides to have one leisure hour
But if I ever live to go back to Cootehill
I and my Kate will have a full jill.
And a shake of the hand over poteen.
