The Yankee's fat bacon
If I'm not mistaken
Is fit for no man
But a wild mountaineer,
And less for Pat Markey
Or the old Benix Bartle,
Or the Parnellites,
It would just them in cheer.II.
When Markey McGuire
Clapped the pan on the fire,
In walks Benix Bartle
Saying "that's my delight."
When in comes Para Ruadh (Padraig),
The old wirre-sthruggh
Saying dip in the gravy
My gay Parnellite.III.
Well now Micky Reilly,
I will warn you highly,
Though your head is as big
As a steeple,
For I'm told of late
You made wooden weights
For the Yankee to
Baffle the people.
