    “Mr Hawk in Dundalk and he mending old shoes”

    Share Share Post
    Mr Hawk in Dundalk and he mending old shoes
    And I saw a skylark with spectacles and he reading the news.
    And I saw a blind carpenter and he driving a nail in the moon
    Is there any man born saw so many wonders as I.
    "Lacka-na-Stocha" tír an-fhuar iseadh í
    Níl bainne ag bó ná cluain in a luighe
    Dá bhfuigeadh sí clover de barraAgus tobar gan gainimh gan áer
    Túirí na Naomh mar leabaidh
    Ar maidin lá árd ar léim
    Down comes a lady in fashion
    And views him well over the tail
    And swore she would venture her fortune
    The first race for "Bún Mart na Wail"
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
