Far am bi mi fhin bigh mo dhochas ann.

"A dollar, a dollar"; then two!" "Only two?

T 'was battered and scarred and the auctioneer
Thought it barely worth his while
To spend much time on that old violin
But he held it up with a smile

"What would you bid good folks?" he cried
"Who 'll start the bidding for me?
A dollar,a dollar,a dollar then two
