  1. Tom Marsh Going to Jail

    Share Share Post
    "There's Tom Marsh going down to jail.
    He'll pay no fine or give no bail.
    For he's a son of Granuale."
    Says sturdy Nellie Hogan, "O."
    Says Bid Mulqueen "what has Tom done,
    To go to jail it is no fun?
    He wouldn't serve a process on a widow's son."
    Says sturdy Nellie Hogan, "O."
    Says Mary Grace "there passed my place, a horse going at a terrible pace
    In case poor Tom they might release," Says sturdy Nellie Hogan, "O."
