- (continued from previous page)The second week then came on: we had an alteration
When Maggie spied this fine young man he won her admiration
Darby Dinan was the man, he was both tall and bony
All other damsels he did shun for Maggie's Tackle í Oney.
VI
Darby dear, you, are too green, you need no longer court me
You've only got that damn machine
And that would neer support me
"Here now" said he "you've humbugged me"
"If I might stick to Joaney
Tis now she'll say you damn caday go and follow the Tackle í Oney
There gone says he to Ballinagree and left us sad and lonely
But I love the spot that held the camp
They called the Tackle í Oney.
