- Air - "The Dingle Puck Goat".Bold Thady Quill.
Ye maids of Duhallow thats anxious for courting
A word of advice I'll give unto you.
Proceed to Banteer to the athletic sports there.
And give in your name to the Club Committee.
But do not commence any sketch of the programme
Till a carriage you'll notice going over the hill.
And flying through the valleys and glens of Kilcorney
With our Muskerry sportsman.
Young bold Thady Quill.
Chorus
For rambling and sporting.
For gambling and courting.
For emptying a pint just as fast as you'd fill.
In all your day's roving.
You'd find none so jovial.
As our Muskerry sportsman.
Young bold Thady Quill.Bold Thady was famous all over the nation.
At the sports and the races he was very well known.
There is no other young lad can court all the ladies.
From Bantry Bay to the Co. Tyrone.
There's not a young damsel.
From Kerry to Coachford.
But is wild to elope with him right with their will
There is no man in Duhallow, Kanturk or Kilcorney,(continues on next page)
