    In spite of coercision he's still agitating
    All the blood in his veins, he is ready to spill
    To gain for old Erin complete seperation
    Till such is the case there's no peace for old Tady Quill
    VII.
    There was an old prophecy came to light lately,
    And stated that Tady would shortly be seen
    In Parliament pleading the rights of old Erin
    With Redmond our chairman in famed College Green
    The old harp of Tara that's silent for ages
    Some will accord us a glorious trill
    And sing out the praises of Ireland the nation
    And may long live the glory of bold Tady Quill
    Chorus
    For gambling and sporting, carousing & courting
    Or drinking a bowl as fast as you'll fill
    In all your days roving you'll find none so goval
    As our Muskerry sportsman, our bold Tady Quill
