    Athlone is not far distant
    A city you should see.
    When market days tis swarming
    With squires and peasantry
    There pigs are sold in plenty
    And cattle dark and fair
    Net Tuesday if your willing
    Be sure I'll meet you there
    We've sometimes throut for supper
    And I've a little boat
    And in the Silver Shannon
    I drop a line and float.
