   There's Admiral Packenham the truth for to tell,
   With a list of the soupers the captain and Nell,
   Hume Bucket and Burnet each one in his station,
   Those were the great founders of their reformation.

   Fannie looked round and said I was a fool,
   For ever erecting a soup house in Coole,
   Whilst living on earth I received a fine pay,
   For canting the souls of the soupers each day.

   Fannie looked round and to Satans surprise,
   One question now master and do not disguise,
   Just tell me the reason and answer in full,
   If this is the place for the race of John Bull.
   10.
   Fannie I'll tell you the reason indeed,
   Because they have abjured the Catholic creed,
   For murder and lust it was the foundation,
   When Henry first joined their reformation.
   15.
   So now to conclude no more will I say,
   But to the Blessed Virgin most fervently Pray,
   For the conversion of those cursed group,
   That bartered their souls for Fan Connollys soup.

   This song was composed by "Blind" Larey Gaffney who lived in my townsland and who died over 20 years ago. This song refers to the time of the Souperism in this Parish years ago. This was recited to me by my uncle James Kiernan, of Camagh, Coole.
