One day down in Bangor, I called on Miss Brown She was up in her bath so she couldn't come down,
Says I slip on something and come down here quick so she slipped on the soap and was down in a tic.
On day at the market I bought a wee hen, I thought I would like a fresh egg now and then, But the very next morning I got a great shock Says the hen I can't lay Sure I'm only a cock.
One day I was walking down the main street, I met a wee lad with no shoes to his feet. I took pity on him then and there And went into a fruit shop and bought him a pear.
I once met a man with a hole in his head, Sure they took out my brains for to mend them he said. That's awkward says I but says he not at all Sure I'm only a deputy up in the Dail (minister in Parliament)
I met an auld man at a funeral one day His back it was stooped and his hair it was grey, I'm close on a hundred he said with a groan. Faith says I you are wasting your time to go home. I drempt I did die and to heaven did go.
The place that I came from they wanted to know Says I I'm from Bangor, Saint Peter did stare' Hurry up, step inside, you're the first one from there
