Local Songs (continued)
“Not far from the little shop”
(continued from previous page)His beard was growing as long as a week
He went into a barber and left down his hat and said "Would you give me a shave for the pure of God"
"Be gone" said the barber.
"I shave none in thrush be jabers
"This times you must " said Pat
"My beard is growing for many a day
and hell swet a penny i have got to pay,
"Sit down, said the barber."Sit down and I will soon mow your long grey into a hair"
The ladder was spread even
Paddy's broad chin
And shaved with a rusty old raser
