For Charlie Noble's request, and of course for Peg's land lord problems... does anyone have the words to the following, or, if not, we can build it from memory... It was on a Planxty album, I think the first one with Matt Molloy...
It begins
I am a bold undaunted fox
who never yet was trapped or caught
forgot the line...
I made me name in fine good land between Tipperary and lough crom?
Where my forefathers lived and died
three thousand years ago
I lived as happy as king Saul
and loved me neighbors one and all
me rents tariffs and taxes I was willing for to pay
But I was of late betrayed be one who was a fool I know,
He told me I should live this place and show me face no more.The day that he evicted me, tis then I knew that I should flee
So late one night I took his life and left him lying low
He fell victim to a shot, and his agency was soon forgot
Now they are a searching for farmer Michael Hays
