An Old Song
“Tis of a wild Irishman lately came down,”
'Tis of a wild Irishman lately came down,
For to view London city of fame and
'Twas into an ale-house I first took my way,
And it happened to be on St. Patrick's Day.III saw a crowd here and I saw a crowd there,
Said I to myself "Now this looks very quare,"
I took up my shillelah all for to get there,
Thinking every minute it was Ballyhack fair.IIIUp jumps a big fellow with a head like a Turk,
Saying "How are you sweet Paddy, sweet Paddy from Cork,"
Now turn around, Paddy, if you be so very kind,
For I ne'er saw a coat that was buttoned behind.(continues on next page)- Collector
