PADDY'S WEDDING
Sure won't you hear what roaring cheer Was spread at Paddy's wedding, O, And how so gay they spent the day, From churching to the bedding, O? First, book in hand, came Father Quipes, With the bride's dadda, the Bailie, O,
[CHORUS:] While the chaunter with the merry pipes Struck up a lilt so gaily, O. Tiddery, tiddery, &c.
Now there was Mat and sturdy Pat, And merry Morgan Murphy, O, And Murdock Mags, and Tirloch Skaggs, M'Laughlin, and Dick Durfey, O, And then the girls, rigged out in white, Led on by Ted O'Rielly, O, While the chaunter, &c.
When Pat was asked if his love would last The chapel rung with 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, etc.
Then a roaring set at dinner met, So frolicksome and so frisky, O, Potatoes 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 expense so gaily, O, While the chaunter, etc.
And then at night, oh! what delight, To see them capering and prancing, O, An opera or ball were nothing at all Compared to the style of dancing, O, And then to see old Father Quipes, Beating time with his shillelah, O, When the chaunter, etc.
And now the know so soaky are got, They'll go to sleep without rocking, O, While the bridemaids fair so grave prepare For throwing of the stocking, O. Decadorus we'll have, says Father Quipes, Beating time with his shillelah, O, While the chaunter, etc.
