    A Verse
    Told by Mr Tomas Comaskey age 56 Dungimmon, Mount Nugent, County Cavan
    When I was single,
    My pockets did jingle,
    And O how I longed to be single again
    Single again, And o how I longed to be single again.
    My wife she died O then just there,
    My wife she died just then,
    My wife she died and I fainted with pride,
    For I knew I was single again
    Single again, Single again for I knew I was single again
