   You can come back to Coachford fix up your abode,
   And ramble till twelve all night on the road,
   Now before you go away I'll tell you some more,
   Go and dance your best jig on the Coachford hall floor.

   Though a smart Irish lad in the hall does teach,
   His boys and his girls round the road all leach,
   But I fear that learning won't come to much more,
   So dance your best jig on the Coachford Hall floor.

   Told by and composed by, Denis Cooney, Coachford.
