One day she went to the doctor some medicine to find, she said "will you give me something for to make me old man blind". REF. |
|
|
"Feed him eggs and marrowbones and make him suck them all and it won't be very long after till he won't see you at all". REF. |

The doctor wrote a letter and he signed it with his hand, he sent it round to the old man just to let him understand. REF. |

She fed him eggs and marrowbones and made him suck them all, and it wasn't very long after till he couldn't see the wall. REF. |

Says he: "I'd like to drown myself, but that might be a sin". Says she: "I'll go along with you and help to push you in". REF. |
|
|
The woman she stepped back a bit to rush and push him in, and the old man quickly stepped aside and she went tumblin; in. REF. |

Oh how loudly she did yell and how lodly she did call, "Yerra hold your whist old woman, sure I can't see you at all". REF. |
