    My box would speak if it had but a tongue
    And a penny or two would do it no wrong
    Sing holly, sing ivy, sing ivy, sing holly,
    A drop just to drink would drown melancholy
    And if you draw it of the best
    I hope to heaven your soul may rest
    But if you draw it of the small
    it wont agree with our boy's at all
    Coachford boy's are gone to rack Since Mary O'Leary went to Cork
    But we're the boy's to bring her back in spite of Sergeant Major
    Up with the kettle and down with the pot
    So give us our answer and let us be off
