well i courted gurls in Mullaghbawn, Forkhill
an' Tandragee
Markethill an' Port-ee-down
an' some in Drumminteague
but me geebin'
an' me blarney
only made them aw' feel sore
fer whose oule whiskers wuz it?
that had tickled them before?

but Paddy Kearney
the greatest maun the country ever knew
'twas Paddy Kearney
he could do the things no o'her maun could do!!
