PADDY’S LETTER, 1857

I’ve had all sorts of luck, sometimes bad, sometimes better,

But now I have somebody’s luck and my own,

For I stooped in the street and I picked up a letter,

Which some one had written to send away home.

The old adage says, “What you find, you may keep it,”

And as most of these old sayings are very true,

I straight broke the seal, and then having read it,

The contents of this letter I tell unto you.
