One day, the railway came along and ran a tunnel right through the hill without by-your-leave or nothing.
He should have sued them.
He cursed the tunnel. He swore that any train entering it should never come out.
That would mess up the timetables.
The first train that came along, there stood one-eyed Joe, his arms upraised.
''Hold back,'' he cried.
But the driver rode straight on.
And the next morning, his body was found on the line.
And every night, when the moon gives light,
The ghost of the miller is seen
As he walks the track with a sack on his back
Down to the Black Borheen
And the mill wheels turn though the night is still
And the elf lights flash from the ruined mill
He haunts the station, he haunts the hill
and the land that lies between!

From Stockton wasn’t he ?
