The Gombeen-Man (The Rocky Road To Dublin)
By James Stephens
I put the sky into my pocket,
And the sea into my locket,
And into my breeches-band
I put the land.
So I was trotting off to share,
Among my comrades in the lair,
Our profits, when a peeler came
And took my name.
And now I'm in the County Gaol!
Will anybody be my bail?
Will anybody be my bail
And take me from the County Gaol?
