Show The Men of the Aran Islands I Later I met a man from the Aran islands which lie off the coast of Gal- Gal way far out of the world in the wind and the rain ram and he told me proudly of the place good people there he said I 1 dont don't suppose you'd find any better people anywhere in inthe inthe inthe the world And they're old fashioned too maybe that's the reason for it You'd see them wearing clothes they made themselves grown and woven right there in the islands and the women wear shawls they've made themselves You'd see the ties shoes made of that they use for walking on the rocks They're bold sailors too and daring sure they have to be he and they go right out In the Atlantic itself They have skin boats they go fishing in with a high bow to them the like of that one there My uncle had a hooker he used to run and he was he-was was lost oft off her her her-he he was anchoring one time and somehow he got the chain arou around d his leg and it pulled him overboard and drowned him But he was a damn fool to get caught so God save him A. him A.
