Subject: RE: Rocks of Bawn/ more verses please
Hi,

In verse 3 "you have me nearly robbed" fits the rhyme better, and I have the next line as, "A sittin' by your fireside with your doudeen in your gob." (Don't ask me what a doudeen is - I haven't a clue!)

Verse 4

My shoes they are well worn out, my stockings they are thin
And my heart is always trembling for fear that they'll let in,
And my heart is always trembling from the clear daylight of dawn,
Afraid I'll never be able to plough the rocks of Bawn."

The title means "White Rocks".

Hope this helps.

Slainte

Alison
