   250 The hut on the banks of the Slaney There's a hut I know by Slaney's side There are lads I know you will find inside There are songs thorough the night that are heard far and wide From that hut on the banks of the Slaney Its not a grand place by daylight seen Not grand or imposing you know what I mean But at night with an army inside it would seem To have room for the rest of the county There are ladies there with a light in their eyes And features that only themselves dont pride And a man not thrilled is a man telling lies Blind drunk or asleep in a corner. There are old songs sung of this land of the free Old times come back like the leaves to a tree There are dozens of stout and beer you cannot see In the hut on the bank of the Slaney.
