    And into T.J.Kelly's to buy some food and drink.
    It was there they got the drink my boys,
    Without the least delay,
    And sixteen "bob" it was a lob,
    For the likes of them to pay.

    Up stands our noble Captain,
    And to Kelly he did say,
    Will you give us a concertina
    For we have no cash to pay?
    "Why not", said Mr. Kelly,
    I will give it unto thee.
    Your the only man amongst ye all
    That my two eyes can see.
    Tessie Burke
