1. Denny Byrne the Piper

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   In the year of '98 when all troubles were great
   I though it would be a militia
   And what should I see hanging out of a tree
   But the corpse of a Hessian there hanging
   The lad had good boots and I had bad brogues
   And he lay to the bloody old viper
   The boots were so tight and he pulled with such might
   That both legs and boots came with the piper

   ii
   He took up the legs and he set on his peg's
   Until he came to Tim Gavin's cabin
   Bgob say's Tim I won't let you in
   You'll be hung if you're caught there a rapping
   He sent him out to the shed where the cow lay in bed
   He got a wisp and began for to wipe her
   The two lay together on a seven foot feather
   And the cow fell a hugging the piper

   iii
   And when day had dawned Denny got up and yawned
   He drgged on the boots of the Hessian,
   The two legs left there in the straw I declare
   He left them like bail for his mission
