From 쳌the mountains of Mourne쳌: Percy French···
I believe that when writin', a wish you expressed
As to how the fine ladies in London were dressed
Well, if you believe me, when asked to a ball
Faith, they don't wear no top to their dresses at all. ====

Should of course be no BACK, rather than no top, to their dresses at all. I can remember when ladies' evening-dresses were backless de rigueur; and Emma tells me they still often are.
