wexford mummer's song - susan mckeown lyrics
in derry town there dwelt two maids
there dwelt two maids in shroden
one of their names was pollshy grey
the other was nancy hogaan
fa la la la la la
fa la la la la la
fa la la la la la la la
fa la la la la la
now these two maids led an awful life
an awful life and dreary
from morn ’til night they’d fuss and fight
everything quite contrary
fa la la la la la
fa la la la la la
fa la la la la la la la
fa la la la la la
now nancy bought a little pig
and he grew like the wonder
poll she bought another one
you scarce could tell them asunder
fa la la la la la
fa la la la la la
fa la la la la la la la
fa la la la la la
now these two pigs were out one day
thesе pigs were out a feedin’
blackguards came and cut off thеir tails
sent them home a bleedin’
fa la la la la la
fa la la la la la
fa la la la la la la la
fa la la la la la
now nancy died of a sat*rday night
and poll she died on sunday
blackguards came and dug their graves
buried them both on monday
fa la la la la la
fa la la la la la
fa la la la la la la la
fa la la la la la
now these two maids are dead and gone
their bones they lie in shroden
and devil if a prayer was offered up
for poll and nancy hogan
fa la la la la la
fa la la la la la
fa la la la la la la la
fa la la la la la
