    IV.
    So now the concert is commenced,
    And I hope that every one,
    Will like the Robert Emmet play.
    The farce, the dance, and song.
    I wish you all a bright new year,
    Hope soon to meet again
    So just before we leave to-night
    We'll sing the old refrain,
    Chorus,
    This song was first made, and sung by a man named Bannigan about thirty years ago. This man had a public-house in the village, and sung it on the occasion of a new-years night concert in the Father Martin Hall.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
