    But I'd rather have my cabin than his rich lordly hall.
    3rd
    I have a nice little cabin I have pratties galore. I have always a welcome for those who are poor. When a family is evicted they are welcome home to me. In my little humble cabin I can hold a jubilee.
    Chorus
    With my big turf fire and my floor swept clean. There is no man more happy than I Paddy Kane. To the baby in the cradle I can hear the dear wife say. Agra go to asleep Alanna till I wet your daddy's tea.
