  1. For We Must Toil this Autumn Day

    Share Share Post
    For we must toil this autumn day.
    Said when milking the cow
    Come O Mary and milk my cow.
    Come O Bridget and milk the strippings.
    Come O Sweet bolumcille and put your hold hands about her.
    On a person coming home
    May God open to me the door of justice, and when I go in may I confess to the Lord.
