There are young girls In that town beyond, And they wont be alive until they get into thefashion. They have expensive satin ribbons quite up to date, Though (for their supper) at nightthey have only coleannon, my laddie. Deuce a young boy youd get in the country. Oh Mary!and oh Christ! its a pity you are not with me, They never remember the rent of their houses,But their yellow oxters (arm-pits) show through their flaxen shirts. j 2.1 bought flax-seed and sowedit in the ground At the top of the field in the beginning of spring. I pulled it and steeped it andspread it out on the heather, And I put it in the earth without an untidy old hag. The tow which Ibought was not the coarse stuff, But the bright fine material such as my father (used). Myfourteen pence I lost with the weaver, And in return I got only my flaxen shirt. 3. It lifted myheart to the top of my breast, And I tore at the pleats that were behind on its corners; Nota man who beard tell of my story, That didnt say, there was a flock in my flaxen shirt.My friend, Mrs. Hobari, tells rue that this satirical song was composed byCormac Dali, a blind poet who lived in Dunmore (eight miles from Tuarn)during the latter part of the eighteenth century. A short account of his lifeis given in Walkers Irish Bards, with a long poem of his entitled Lamentfor John Burke of Carrantrila. It is difficult, however, to discover any ofthe genius of Cormac Dali in the above composition.In singing the song Mrs. Hoban repeats the chorus at the end of the.fourth, as well as at the end of the eighth, line.V3.
