Explore "Paddy's Letter, 1857" by Andrew Barton Paterson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
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.
