    And welcome as the dawn
    Many a day you stood a laogh
    Outside the sheebeen door.
    While I was polishing off a pint
    and waiting for some more
    There is not a fair from Cork to Clare
    Where thimble riggers play
    That you have'nt got your share
    of all that's quare
    Every blessed day
    We have carried the master and priest
    The doctor and the nuns
    The sick the sore the blind the lame
    And every kind that comes
    We have carried the piper and his bags
    The fiddler and drones
    We carried ballad singer too
    The jugler and his bones
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
