   Song by a Ballybay priest on meeting a parishioner who broke the Father Matthew pledge.

   
   I was a bold teetotaller for three long months or more

   The neighbours all respected me and dacent clothes they wore

   My family were proud of me until one unlucky day

   When like a child I was beguiled by whiskey in my tay

   
   (II)

   I only took one second sup when up the ruction rose,

   I knew that I was put upon so I walloped friends and foes

   Until police three surrounded me they hauled me up next day

   His lordship smiled when fining me for whiskey in my tay.

   
   (III)

   Now, all you bold teetotallers if sober you would be,

   Be careful of your company just mind what happened me

   It wasn't the boys from Shercock, nor the lads from Ballybay,

   But dealing (daling) men from Crossmaglen put whiskey in my tay.
