- (3) The Tunes of Paddy Benson. Air: Fill the Bum-per FairOne Winter's evening dark
From Corrawn I was straying
Convenient to Lambpark
I heard pipe music playing,
As homeward we did pass
I heard some person hinting
That we should take a glass
And hear old Paddy Benson.
Tou row row row row
Tou row row row roddy
Tou row row row row
Tow row row row raddy.
II
He shortly wet his lip,
And set his pipes in order,
He played the "Highland Skip"
And "Scotchman oer the Border,"
He played the "Figs of Fife,"
And likewise "Tullochgorum"
"The Scolding Man and Wife,"
And "Push about the Jorum."
(Tou etc. repeated as before as Chorus)
