Evicted Irish Tenant Farmer

This print had belonged to my grandmother's cousin

Katherine McNulty (1878-1955)

 

Printed about 1890.

-----------

Old Irish song:

 

" Well I scarcely had traveled one mile of the road

When I heard a dispute in a farmer's abode

The son of the landlord, an ill looking toad,

And the wife of the bold tenant farmer ...

 

By next October ... you'll have the high road for your garden."
