A cantankerous crowd as you will ever come across , I used to buy off them during my career as a coal merchant . They were the cheapest for turf and briquettes .I think one of the sons was into rallying .

LOL..cantankerous they may have been.......they had their Tenters depot just over our back yard wall....we never wanted for a bucket or bag a coal...ever....3 cheers for the Mc Henry's They were all a bit nutty and slack.

well, a shop in the backyard
that sold him free coal
he said, bless me father
sure, i've never stole

in the tenters, they say
in times. when your broke
you can steal coal and turf
sure, it makes ''holy smoke''

you can see why mc henry's
are rude to their mates
when their profits all piled up
in brass fendered grates

Twas all fair to me
As I climbed o'er the wall
With me hands an me buckeh
And heart fulla gall

Mind yerself now
I heard me Ma call
And don't rip yer trousers
Climbing dat wall

Mind yerself son
Mind the long fall
As I dropped meself down
O'er McHenry's back wall

With me hands fulla slack
And me face like a sweep
I gathered huge lumps
All mine te keep

Not for the neighbours
Nor for te sell
For a big roarin fire
Just like Nick's down in hell

go away outa that
i bet you claimed fame
i know all the oulwans there
knew you by name

when the turf from the docket
had long long ran out
where's that ''damn'' robber
the oulwans would shout

get me some big bits
and don't you come back
with a bag of turf mould
and some, wet bloody slack

and they knew all about
the ''dub'' grannies great friend
the scourge of mc henry's
''that damn weather'' will end
