    Oh then tell me Sergt. Dunphy, tell me why you hurry so ...

    I
    Oh then tell me Sergt. Dunphy,
    Tell me why you hurry so
    Och! There is life in danger,
    And to Sheridans I must go,
    II
    A lady was insulted
    When coming home from Mass
    She is in fear & terror
    And Sheridans she won't pass
    III
    Now go Constable Connor
    And meet her at the gate
    And Daly lie in ambush
    The signal to wait
    IV
    And when you pass by Sheridans
    With your truncheon & your gun
    Try to get up their tempers
    And its then you'll see some fun
