    'Tis then you'd have steam,
    For he'ed "praich" for a month in the hang "Patcheen".

    Then up comes "Long" Barret and he full of hot claret,
    Saying "tis well for you, Coffey, you aren't now here,
    For I'd turn you around and your nose I would pound,
    And I'd send you to bed for the rest of the year,
    "So now Paddy Coffey, I warn you in future,
    Give up bottle and pewter, and try and keep right,
    I'll forgive you this time as it is your first crime.
    So good-bye and God bless you, I bid you "good night".
