- (continued from previous page)I'll sing a new song to a air that is old,
About Mr. Westby, that landlord so bold;
Says he "To my tenants I'll give a great faste.
And begor! they assembled two hundred at laste.
Oh they came there from near and from far, sir,
They came there on foot and by car, sir,
From the Lighthouse to Corcoran's Bar Sir.
To the outhouse at Killballyowen.High over their heads waved the brave Union jack,
'Twas placed there by Barney and Tombee the black;
There were candles in sconces stuck round by the walls -

And the fiddles were turnin' as gay, sir,
As larks in the sweet month of May, sir,
Or as Scott when arrives the gale day, sir,
In the outhouse at Kilballyowen(continues on next page)
