    (continued from previous page)
    But you ran him off his feet
    Oh! what a sporting crowd came thro' My Sweet Old Home in Peake.
    1V
    There was no time to me so gay as those happy days of yore
    Oh many the sporting dance we had At the Doctors cross before
    Where the men were of the truest And the Colleens oh so sweet
    Sure they still still write me more and more From My Dear Old Home in Peake
    V
    Oh! many a change has come and gone Since those events took place
    And we are few and far between Like all the Irish Race
    Perhaps some day I'll come again A quieter life to seek
    To live in peace and happiness In My Sweet Home in Peake.
