The Ballad of Margaret O'Grady

I knew a bonnie lass
She was a lovely lady
Big brown eyes and auburn curls
And her name was Margaret O'Grady

She wed a chap from Dublin
But by the next week he was a goner
But she took his name just the same
Aye she was Margaret O'Grady O'Connor

Twasn't one month later
She hitched a chap who was smiley,
A red-haired feller with two buck teeth
So she was Margaret O'Grady O'Connor O'Reilly

Well he fell off a ladder
But she wasted no time a cryin'
He was scarcely dead and she re-wed
And was Margaret O'Grady O'Connor O'Reilly O'Brien

'Twas only two weeks later
This chap was kicked by a mule
So she tied the knot, and pffft why not
She was Margaret O'Grady O'Connor O'Reilly O'Brien O'Toole

Well a stray bolt of lightening
Ended their marital plan
So she married once more and became
Margaret O'Grady O'Connor O'Reilly O'Brien O'Toole O'Hallihan

'Twas a wee bit of bad custard
Let's just say it weren't all too cheery
She she bravely married one more time
And became Margaret O'Grady O'Connor O'Reilly O'Brien O'Toole O'Hallihan O'Leary

Well Mr O'Leary passed away
Just like his Irish brothers
Margaret decided twas perhaps their blood
So she thought to court some others

She fell for a handsome gent
He was all brawn and bones
She lived happily after amidst much laughter
As Margaret O'Grady O'Connor O'Reilly O'Brien O'Toole O'Hallihan O'Leary... JONES



The Ballad of Katherine Jones:Independent Woman

There was an intelligent woman,
Who was doing just fine on her own;
Had a doctorate degree and an SUV,
Her hame was Katherine Jones.

She married a bunch of fellers
Who all died of causes unknown
She kept her name so remained the same,
Intelligent Katherine Jones
