A Song (continued)
“My name is Mrs. Mulligan I dont live far from hear,”
(continued from previous page)3
The relics of the family my husband brought it home,
From the County Tipperary in the year 18,64
T'was patched in several places from the collar to the tail
But if I found out who stole that shirt be God he'd be in jail
It was a rainy day my eyes were filled with dirt
It was either stole or blew away my husband's flannel shirt.
4 Good morning Mrs. Murphy I have something for your ear
I have Grady haunted and the genny goat arested I declare.
The judge he found him guilty ten dollars was the fine,
For Grady had on my husband's shirt the goat stole from the line.
It was a rainy day my were filled with dirt
It either stole or blew away my husband's flannel shirt.
