I had planned to post this in the thread called Lyr Add: Irish songs about balls, wakes, soirees, but it seems interesting enough to deserve its own thread. There are variants that go by the name PADDY'S WEDDING or THE IRISH WEDDING. I will post them later.

From The Lester S. Levy Collection of Sheet Music:

TID RE I
Or the Marriage of MISS KITTY O'DONAVAN to Mr. PADDY O'RAFFERTY.
Sung by Mr. TWAITS at the NEW THEATRE with unbounded applause.

[1.] Sure won't you hear what roaring cheer
Was spread at Paddy's wedding oh!
And how so gay they spent the day,
From churching to the bedding oh!
First, book in hand, came Father Quipes,
With the Bride's Dadda, the Baily O,
While the Chaunter with the merry Pipes
Struck up a lilt so gaily, O.

[SPOKEN:] So as soon as Peter O'Rieley heard there was a wedding on the carpet, he went directly to Father Quipes and told him of the whole affair, who thrust his arm up the chimney & pull'd down his pipes, & squaz'd them under his arm & blew a blast into them & play'd a little bit of a—

[CHORUS:] Tid re i tid re i tid re tid re i de O.

[2.] Now there was Mat and sturdy Pat,
And merry Morgan Murphy O,
And Murdock Mags, & Tirloch Skaggs,
McLaughlin, and Dick Durfey O;
And then the Girls, rigged out in wipes,
Led on by Dad O'Rilly O,
While the Chaunter, &c.

[SPOKEN:] By the powers it would have done your heart good to see the Boys & Girls hopping over the gutters, two by two in couples one after another, while the piper was jogging on before playing a little bit of a tid re I, &c.

[3.] When Pat was asked if his love would last,
The Chancel echoed wid laughter O,
By my soul says Pat, you may say that,
To the end of the world and after O;
Then tenderly her hand he gripes,
And kisses her genteely O,
While the Chaunter, &c.

[SPOKEN:] When the ceremony was over, and Father Quipes told her that she was no longer Miss Kitty O'Donavan but Mrs. Paddy O'Rafferty to be sure Paddy didn't take hold of her by the back of the neck, and gave her such a kiss that when he took his lips away, you might have heard it all over the Chapel, whilst the Boys and Girls seeing so neat an example before them, all began, while the piper who was seated near the Communion Table kept time with his tid re I, &c.

[4.] Then a roaring set at dinner met,
So frolicsome and so frisky O,
Pratoes galore, a skirrag or more,
With a flowing madder of Whiskey O;
Then round to be sure didn't go the wipes,
At the Bride's expence so gaily O,
While the Chaunter, &c.

[SPOKEN:] For Pat dy'see was resolved to do the thing in a genteel way, so he ordered in tha[illegible] bowls of Pratoes, and a dish full of red Herrings; and while they were masticating the pratoes, their jaws went faster than the Piper's elbow, who was seated in a corner playing a little bit of tid re I, &c.

[5.] And then at night, O what delight,
To see them cap'ring and prancing O,
An Opera's Ball were nothing at all,
Compared to the stile of their dancing O;
And then to see old Father Quipes,
Beating time with his Shilela O,
While the Chaunter, &c.

[SPOKEN:] By the power of mud, if he happened to place his thumb on the hole where his little finger should be, to be sure Paddy didn't jump up from the throne of turf where he was sitting and gave him such a poult over the place where he took his snuff, that it knock'd him clean into the mud. "There's a suit of brown for you," says he, "lie there you thief of the world till the cows come home, & let it learn you all the days of your life and for ever after if you die tomorrow, that whenever you come to a gentleman's wedding, his funeral, or any such a merry making matter, not to be playing any of your damn'd Cantabaribs, but nothing neither more nor less, than the neat little bit of tid re I, &c.

[6.] And now the knot so sucky are got,
They'll go to sleep without rocking O,
While the Bridemaids fair, so grave prepare,
For throwing off the stocking O,
Decadorus we'll have says Father Quipes,
Then the Bride was kiss'd round genteely O,
While to wish them good fun the merry pipes,
Struck up a lilt so gaily O.

[SPOKEN:] So when the bride & bridegroom had determined to go to bed Paddy took the candle & lit them all to the door, every soul of them; & as he was lighting Mrs. O'Rafferty up the ladder that they come downstairs by, her wooden leg slip'd & went clean though the Piper's bags & spoil'd his little bit of a tid re I, &c.
