Bag-Snatching in Dublin

Sisely

Walked so nicely

With footsteps so discreet

To see her pass

You'd never guess

She walked upon the street.

Down where the Liffey waters' turgid flood

Churns up to greet the ocean-driven mud,

A bruiser in fix

Murdered her for 6/6.

6/6 - Six shillings and sixpence.
