Mrs. Donovan was walking down O'Connell Street in Dublin when
she met up with Father Rafferty.
The Father said, "Top o' the mornin' to ye!
Aren't ye Mrs. Donovan, and didn't I marry ye and yer husband
two years ago?"
She replied, "Aye, that ye did, Father."
The Father asked, "And be there any wee ones yet?"
She replied, "No, not yet, Father."
The Father said, "Well now, I'm going to Rome next week,
and I'll light a candle for ye and yer husband."
She replied, "Oh, thank ye, Father," and they parted ways.
Some years later, they met again, and the Father asked,
"Well now, Mrs Donovan, how are ye these days?"
She replied, "Oh, very well, Father."
The Father asked, "And tell me, have ye any wee ones yet?"
She replied, "Oh, yes, Father! Three sets of twins and four singles,
10 in all!"
The Father said, "Glory be! That's wonderful!
How is yer loving husband doing?"
She replied, " 'e's gone to Rome to blow out yer fookin' candle!"
she met up with Father Rafferty.
The Father said, "Top o' the mornin' to ye!
