A Song (continued)
“Thomas dear and did you hear your horse was painted green”
(continued from previous page)a little out of rhyme
But they say the Smyths have sworen and promised without delay
To send their horse to Galway on the coming New Years day.

“On Mr De Valeras first visit to Galway in the year 1913 the Sinn Féiners engaged all the sidecars in the parishes to go to the meeting.”

The meeting was held on New Year Day and the Sinn Féiners painted Pat Smyth's horse because he did not go to Galway like the others. This song was composed by James O Connor Ballinderreen - Collector
