   Then drink your fill
   And loose about, and roll down by the shore
   And when your dry just have a drink
   Of the waters of Poll Mór
   (VII)
   His son he is a friendly chap
   Your pigs he will take care.
   He'll treat you to the very best
   When you go to the fair.
   (VIII)
   Maggie stands behind the bar
   And Nellie holds the jar
   And Biddy divides the whiskey
   On the scabrags of Kilcar.
   (VIIII)
   Seán he had a son in Law
   Who lived in Mín na Broc
   He got married to a daughter
   The shepherd of the flock.
   (VIIIII)
   She trips it up and trips it down
   Her feet they should be sore.
   But she thought no toil of it
   While mixing the Poll Mór.
