CORRECTAR LA LETRA

Letra : O’Connell’s Steam Engine

Oh people of heart, I pray pay attention
Listen to what I'm about to relate
Concerning a couple I overheard talking
As I was returning late home from a wake
As I rode along sure I saw an old woman
Who's sat in a gap, she was milking her cows
She was jigging that tune called:
"Make haste to the wedding"
Or some other ditty I can't tell you now

Ah, the next came along, it was a bold tinker
Who happened by change to be passing that way
The day being fine they sat down togethеr
What news of that mam, the old woman did say
Therе's no news at all man, replied the bold tinker
But the people all wish that he never had bin
He's a dammed of a rogue of a Daniel O'Connell
And he's now making babies in Dublin by steam

Ah, the children are ruined replied the old woman
Or has the quare fellow gone crazy at last
Or is it the sign of a war or rebellion
Or what is the reason he wants them so fast
It's not that at all, mam, replied the bold tinker
The children of Ireland are getting too small
It's O'Connell's petition to the new Lord Lieutenant
That he won't let us make them the old way at all
