    “Once upon a time there was a famous singer living in this district”

    (continued from previous page)
    It was down in old Kinvare
    In the merry month of May
    When the birds were
    singing cheerfully
    I came along the way.
    God save you kindly
    sir said she
    and shyly passed
    me by
    Off went my heart
    along with her
    A capive in her
    thrawl
    Imprisioned in the
    corner
    Of her old plaid Shal.
