  1. A Song - Bold Thady Quill

    Share Share Post
    You maids of Duhallow that are anxious for sporting
    A word of advice I will give unto ye.
    Proceed to Banteer to the athletic races
    and give in your name to the club committee.
    Do not present any sketch of your programme
    Till a carriage is noted coming over the hill.
    Flying to the valleys and plains of Kilcorney.
    Comes that Muskerry sportsman called bold Tadey Quill.
    Chorus
    For rambling, for roving, for gambling and goaling
    or emptying a bowl as fast as its filled.
    In all my wide roving I find none as jovial
    As that Muskerry sportsman called bold Tadey Quill.

    At the athletic races held down at Cloghroe
    He won the long jumps without throwing off his waistcoat
