  1. (continued from previous page)
    The Tully Boys who feared no noise assembled on the ground
    And like an architeck from Belfast foundations they laid down.
    As for the entertainment I'll try to let you know
    'Twas the grandest sight you ever saw to see the liquor flow
    The tea and toast it was supplied to everybody there
    In the kitchen and the parlour there were tables front and rear.
    And "Sets" and "Jigs" were merrily danced and finished by a song
    From the celebrated Tulaigh Boys who could sing nothing wrong
    And when the day was over their cheers were raised on high
    Hurrah for young Pat Dolan was everybody's cry.
