He drove them with the shamrock leaf That grows around the lakes. H® must have bees a holy man And got from God the power. With which the drove out all reptiles And only used a flower. He walked all through the countryside. With this flower in his hand. And all the vermin fled before him, Clear out of traland. We can’t all be St. Patricks, But we can do our part. And wear the colors on this date. Green ribbons on our heart. BY BETHEL GAITHER Roll Room 311.
