Speaker: Sean McMahon RIP
Every Christmas, the Mummers would show up at houses with a plethora of mischievous characters in tow including Buck Sweep, Prince George, Beelzebub, Johnny Funny, Big Head, Master Man and Oliver Cromwell no less. One of them was Wee Devil Doubt who used to chant the following lines: - "Here comes I, wee Devil Doubt, The biggest wee devil ever came out Money I want and money I crave, If I don't get money I'll sweep you all to your grave. And if you do not believe what I say, Enter in, Buck Sweep, and he'll clear the way".
