Subject: RE: Lyr Add: An Lacha Bacach
more quack - another verse (my source is Irish 203, Dublin City Uni mooc on www.futurelearn.com)Freddy Headley gave us the English language verse, but not the Irish

Tar liomsa láithreach thar tairsigh isteach
Is fan ann go soláthraid duit cláirín is ceart
Déanfaidh cliath dhaingean d’háisceadh
Ar bhriseadh do chnáimhín
Is snaimhigh naoi lá é is beir sásta go maith

Come with me right way o’er the old home threshold
Stay there and I’ll wrap you in bandage and board
A plaster cast to give growth
To your fractured wee bones
And nine days to just doze in your own happy home
