Summary
Fragment of a song the contributor heard sung by Paddy Delaney in Ireland:
I met with a postman, a bag on his back
I presented my pistol and made him stand soon, radley
Fal-de-diddle o-ral-tie oral-tie ay
I bid him stand back till his bag I would try
I bid him stand back till his bag I would try.
