A Song (continued)
“Twas on the 17th of December”
(continued from previous page)Twas on Dun Bacon road he camped
A little while to stay
And for James Kilgallon and his two sons.
Their donkey stole away
Of this in all to every one
Sure the truth they can't deny
They didn't know their donkey
As he slowly passed them by.
V
A man from Skreen, he passed him by.
He knew the cart right well.
He went in to Castle Connor Mass
And the guards he didn't tell.
They hired Howleys motor car
To give the thief no chance.
But instead of catching him
The boys went to a dance.(continues on next page)
