  1. On the side of the Laune,
    Whom did I spy,
    But Dennie Moroney and "Miss Johnnie Joy",
    Seated down at their ease
    In the shade from the breeze,
    With Mr. Tom Sheehy and Máirín Seán Liath.
    Fair Maggie Joy,
    Now who is her boy,
    They say he is Dan Mack the grocer,
    Don't be so mad,
    He is an old cad,
    In Milltown he ne'er could support her.
    Ellie Kelliher too,
    She swears black and blue.
    She never "sent word" to Bat Connor,
    But Bat didn't cry
    Since he failed in Listry
    His company now is his Bachall.
