    And I says to my self "I'll be left in the lurch"
    In the power of old Darby O'Leary.

    I well recollect it was Michaelmas night
    To a hearty good supper he did he invite
    A cup of soup milk that would physic a snipe
    And give you the woeful disorder.
    It is not advisable to sing this song in the village of Galbally Co Limerick, which lies about five miles north of Anglesboro.
    The people still resent this satire and would not listen to it.
    There are various variations of this song but the one we have written down is the most commonly known. It is still sung in the district of Anglesboro and the air is a very popular one among the local people
