  2. A Local Song - Maids of Enniskerry O

    We drink a health, long life a wealth

    We drink a health, long life a wealth.
    Day nature smiles in all her wiles when
    cupit goes aroaming O.
    With misty darts he pierces the hearts of the fair maids in the Gloaming O.
    For charmer sweet that do compleate and makes this world so merry O
    There's none so rare that can comper with the maids of Enniskerry O
    Let the bottle pass fill your glass,
    With whiskey wine or sherry O
