This has GOT to be in here somewhere, but I'm damned if I can find it. Tried various permutations - what is up with the search?

Help, please!

Thanks for that link...now can someone please explain what the line
"How often do we shout and ball with nothing going with rogues and witches," means?

I'd need to check some sources - but I'm sure the first phrase is "shout and bawl!"

The second phrase "with nothing.." is as in Keenedy, mentioned by Malcolm in the other thread.

I think that the late Paddy Harkin from Derry used to sing "the hedges i have often stripped, and left them bare of rods and switches"

That line is in the next verse in the thread version.
