    (continued from previous page)
    When I went home my wife she met me at the door
    The pot hooks she let fly at me my face she cut and tore
    I would be got dead but for Pat Red were passing by the door
    Said Willie's Tim gave drink to him a half one and no more
    Oh had I all the sheep that grazed on Seamus Reilly's hill
    Oh had I all the meadows around William Crawford's mill
    Oh had I all the riches of the wealthy Patrick More
    I would give it all and twice as much for its
    Whiskey I adore
    Now fare ye well sweet Coillte boys ye'r loss I ne'er will mourn
    And while [there's?] a drop in Mooney's shop I never will return
    He will give trust, and so he must, John L gave it before
    Says Paddy's Tom, as he ends his song, beyond on Coillte shore
