Bold tenant farmer


One evening of late into Bandon I strayed
I was bound for Clonakilty I was making me way
At Ballinishcarthy some time I delayed

Saying "What good have you done but be stuck into jail
And the rent that you owe you must pay by next gale
And believe me, we'll give you no quarter
Your husband I saw in the town just last night
Drinking and shouting for poor tenants rights
But the month of October we'll put you to flight
To follow your friends o'er the water
