  1. (continued from previous page)
    That's the time I put it on.
    Auntie Judy had a cat,
    That was very fond of snails,
    Every time she caught a rat,
    She caught it by the tail.
    No 5.
    Mary had a little lamb,
    Her skin was white as snow,
    Everywhere that Mary went,
    The lamb was sure to go,
    He went with Mary one day to school,
    It was against the rule,
    It made the children laugh and play,
    To see a lamb at school.
    No 6.
    One, two, three, four five, six, seven,
    When John Redmond goes to heaven,
    When he get there he's sure to smile,
    And he fights like a lad for the "erlam isle".
    No 7.
    God be kind to that mans soul,
    And keep it from all troubling,
    For he lived to the age of 110,
    And his name was miles from Dublin.
