The miller he went to town one day,

And he bought a wedding Ring-o!

R with an I, I with an N, N with a G, G with an O,

And he bought a wedding Ring-o!

THE IRISH HARPER AND HIS DOG

On the green banks of Shannon, when Sheelah was nigh,

No blithe Irish lad was so happy as I;

No harp like my own could so cheerily play,

And wherever I went was my poor dog Tray.
