ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS AN OLD MAN BRADY

Once upon a time

way up on Gallagher’s hill

there was an old man Brady

who lived up in his shack

where the grass was green

slim trees and yard real shady

they say he smokes a large red pipe

has rugged overalls

dingy brown hat tilted just

right so you can’t quite see him

they say no man has ever quite seen his face

but he has an ancient beard

so long that it’s hard to trace

a far-reaching beard even to

the bottom of Gallagher’s hill

so they say

yep that’s old man Brady

sometimes its hard to tell

if its fact or myth

but one day I’d like to go find

that old hill
