- (continued from previous page)In praise of Miss Dillon
Whom the Doonbeg boys did win
They courted her for eatables
As I by others told
But on her list some pretty chaps
I'm sure she has enrolled.
Chorus:-
And so gay for every play
Are all young fellows now.
There is a style of courting
Of late if you knew how.
Go, buy your dame some whiskey
For it purifies the head
Thats the latest style of courting
Sure we've got it in Doonbeg.
II
One night in agitation
As I walked out after nine
Who should I see go into Murty's
But Polly famous fine.
Accompanied by Paddy Doyle
Who stood outside the wall
Till off they brought the dainties
Where the ladies kept the Ball
Chorus.(continues on next page)
