Subject: Lyr Add: THE ROLLICKING BOYS AROUND TANDRAGEE
From: Big Mick

Your wish is my command, Erinmaidin:

Tandragee

Good luck to all now barring the cat
That sits in the corner a smelling the rat
Ah quit your philandering boys and behave
And saving your presence I'll chance you will stay
I come from the land where the praties grow big
And the girls neat and handy can dance a fine jig
The boys they will charm your heart for to see
They're wonderful fella's round Tandragee

Chorus:
Here's to the boys that are happy and gay
Singing and dancing and tearing away
Rollicksome, frolicsome, frisky and free
With rollicking boys around Tandragee

The oul juaunting cars, the elegant jolt
And Derry's the place that is famed for the holt
Among the green bushes that the grow in Tyrone
And County Fermanagh for mussel and bone
For feasting and blarney and fun at the bar
There's none can compare with the Rakes of Kildare
Green Erin me country the gem of the sea
But the gem of oul Ireland is Tandragee

Chorus:

No doubt you've all heard of Killarney I'm sure
And sweet Inishowen for a drop of the pure
Dublin's the place for the Strawberry Beds
And Donnybrook Fair for the crackin of heads!
Did you ere see an Irishman dancing poltóg(freely, wildly)
Oh he faces his partner and turns up his brogue
Shakes at the buckle and bends at the knee
Oh, wonderful dancers 'round Tandragee

Chorus:

Now where is the man either Christian or Turk
Could equal the bold Robert Emmet or Burke
Where is the lawyer could speak of Black Dan
There's divil another, bad luck to the one
And where is the singer could sing like Tom Moore
Oh, his melodies charm every care from your door
We'll beat them all yet, boys and that you will see
Sure we're rarin' fine fellas round Tandragee

Chorus:

"chant you a stave" rather than "chance you will stay"?

"fun at the fair" rather than "fun at the bar"?
