An Old Song
“In the year 1765 Poet Prady who was a native of this district was arrested and put in prison for selling poteen”
In the year 1765 poet Prady who was a natvie of this district was arrested and put in prison for selling poteen and he made the following song when another man came to visit him in the cell.
Last night as I slept behind Cavan strong wall.
Where I was confined there in prison.
My crime it was such that no law would take bail.
Thank God it was not for high treason.
It was not for perjury larceny or strife.
But simply the selling of potteen,
I lifted my head of my cold bed of straw.
The moment I heard of the poet.
Say pray you good friend where have you seen
This man I'am desirous to know him.
It was in your own house in the town of Cootehill.
Where I got admittance and at your free will.
T'was early each morning your glass I did fill.(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
