MOONEY'S WEDDIN! AIR.-"Kiss me Quick." THE bellman wes sent roond the toon, Te let foaks hear his voice Annoonce that Mooney, King 0' Sweeps, That day wad wed his choice; An' ivrybody clapt thor hands, An' myed the whole toon ring Wi' joy,-but still aw thowt aw heard The Sweep's intended sing: Korus. De ye think aw'lI blush for bag an' brush, If ye de, whey, yor a spooney; Luv's voos aw'll keep true te me sweep, Gud luck te me an' Mooney! The morn wes wet, still croods flockt roond The hoose that held the pair, An' cabs an' cairts afore the door, Myed a' the peepil stare, Wi' sweeps drest up like lords se grand, An' "happy as a king," The bridegroom's man struck up the teun The fair bride liked te sing De ye think, etc. At last te church the jolly crood, As hearty led the way, An' such a scene wes nivvor seen Be priest like that that day; The foaks wad tawk far mair nor him, When he put on the ring, An' little held the marry thrang l' church that day te sing De ye think, etc. At last at hyem amang wor-sels, Jim Kane wad playa teun, An' then Jim Renforth sung a sang, An' then the fun begun; For Mooney an' his canny wife's Gud happiness te bring, We drunk thor hilths a hundrid times, Besides we'd often sing De ye think, etc. We left them just as happy as We'd met them i' the morn, An' hoped we'd find them just the syem, Whenivor we'd return. But time's gyen by, an' noo a bairn Te the happy pair'll cling, Wi' dad an' mammy biv its side, It often hears them sing De ye think, etc. -Source: Joe Wilson, (author) Songs and Drolleries, 1890
