   (continued from previous page)

   I was at a dance in Camross wan night and I had a girl on me knee, and Phil came along. "Will ye marry me Phil?" says I. "I will", he says
   So he started off
   Under this roof in Windy Weather
   A man and his wife were tied together
   None but he who rules the mighty thunder
   Shall dare to part this man and wife asunder.
