- When I went to the priest to get married
He considered that I was too old
I told him I wanted a wife
To keep me at night from the cold
Then he consented and asked me
What was my name
I told him it was Roger McLoughlin
That lived near the Post Office lane.Chorus:-
So let ye all sit down and be merry
'Tis but a night in yeer life
And a man should be proud and feel happy
When he knows he's got a good wife.Secondly he asked the young woman,
Was she willing to be my wife
She told him it was her intention
To stick to me during her lifeNow for the time that I'm married
I see I was not going astray
She wont let me get up any morning
Until ten oclock in the day
My breakfast then she'll have ready(continues on next page)- Informant
