    The gloves they freely use,
    They break wire lines knock down ash trees,
    They damage bone and skin.
    And no wonder they are boxers then
    At the winter's fair of Glin.
    So now good bye to you old fair,
    You've gone and passed away;
    And as Christmas time is drawing near
    I have one word to say
    I wish a happy Christmas to all of you good men
    And maidens fair beyond compare,
    In that lovely town of Glin.
