- (continued from previous page)I'm not in form for dancing
but I'll do the best I can,
And I'll have the first half-set
With one young Tess Mc Cann.VII
Bellew, he did act the lad
He was no way put about
He played his card with Tess Mc Cann
And done the tailor out
Jemmy Gargan gave them no chance
To implicated him in the song
For his little wife would take his life
If he did anything wrong.VIII
Tom the Tailor will be the next,
If he doesn't get afraid
And we'll have another good night
On Tiernan's kitchen maid.
