I don't have a url for the Praties....there is another one that has a very jolly tune but very sad words...a man from Connemara who sells matches....

Oh it's poor I am today for God gave and took away
And he left without a home for Dan O'Hara
In the frost and snow I stand with my matches in my hand
Poor broken farmer Dan O'Hara

Chorus (I probably have words wrong)

Acushla ...machree won't you buy a box from me
And you'll have the prayers of Dan from Conemmara
You can buy them cheap and low buy a box before you go
From poor broken farmer Dan O'Hara

For 40 years or more I had acres by the score and the grandest land you ever laid a plow to
but the landlord came you know and he laid my home so low and here I am today brokenhearted.

In the year of 54 sure misfortune was at my door
And the poor old wife and I were sadly parted
We were scattered far and wide and the children starved and died
And here I am today broken hearted

In the frost and snow I stand and the shadow of God's hand
Lies heavy on the brow of Dan O'Hara
But with the grace of God above I will find the ones I love
And the joys I left behind in Connemara

Note this chorus:
"A Chusla Geal Mo Chroi
Won't you buy a box from me
And you will have the prayers of Dan from Connemara
I'll sell them cheap and low
Buy a box before you go
From the broken hearted farmer Dan O'Hara".
