- (continued from previous page)To pay them back in dozens, lest the darlins they should cry.8
He is "lauhy" with the mothers,
He's a comrade with the brothers;
The aunt, not the old father never saw the boy to frown.
Till Mary's stole away a vic,
Before the break of day, a vic,
And married some fine morning to that rogue in Hugginstown.9
Ye may travel all the nation,
An' call in at every station.
From the pebbled strand of Arran to the Wicklow hills so brown;
There's the Orangemen in Derry,
An' the Fenian boy in Kerry,
But the lad that licks creation is the Boy from Hugginstown.- Collector
