- (continued from previous page)Although this fact I mention I do not wish to vex. The swain of wood stands idley by ona whole summer's day while another lad came on the field to take his love away.V
Since a champion rose from out their to whell the iron ball. They often on a Sunday gave the publichouse a call. Some to meet their darling sweethearts and embrace them on the sly
Who are always looking out for them with a keen and eager eye. VI
When the drinking is all over the over the Publican would shout.
"Pour boys Pour boys" be going out the police are on their route.
Although ye are all travellers I cant detain you long.
For that "devil" Sergent Sugane"[?] would fire if he can.VII
Then there is great commotion when the boys are turned out
Though they are always sober they of't times raise a shout
I wont go bail, that they would fail if aroused by any foe.
To flash the "dukes" in self-defence and strike a solid blow. VIII
So now Ill go no further their praises to recite
I hope I have said nothing wrong their fuling to excite.
I was often in their ranks myself, and wherever I may be.
I love that spot in old Kippagh that rears a lapparee.Obtained from - Timothy Tringle
