“The following song I got from Mr Seán Grogan, Longford Technical School. It was written by Darby Ryan, Poet, of Ashgrove, Bansha Co. Tipperary on a 'Saor-Seán' called Tomás Ó Duibhir.”
The following song I got from Mr Sean Grogan, Longford Technical School. It was written by Darby Ryan, Poet, of Ashgrove, Bansha Co Tipperary on a "Saor-Seán" called Tomas O Duibhir. Saor-Seán is the term applied to a cheap-jack of a fellow, a pedlar, or a tailor of poor ability.
(1)A Thomáis Uí Duibhir, a shaor-seánaigh,
Do ghluais uaim dtí 'n Báinseach ar strae,
Gan carradh, gan éadach, gan árus
Gan cruinneas, gan fághaltas, gan céird

(Tá line ar iarraid annso)
Is gearr nuair a chlúdaigh sé a chnámha
Go raibh cúram mná air gan spré
A's a ancoir (anchor) do chaith sé sa mBáinsig
Mar a raibh 'na mhaighistear é féin.
(This was taken down from Domnaillín Beag O Riain, Ros an Droicid, Báinseach about 1905 by Seán Grogan.
