    III Verse
    When I look round all grief is drowned
    My spirits then grow lighter O.
    This scene of joy with flashing eye
    Where love is beaming brighter O.
    His heart is cold who'd be controlled
    By any silly warning O.
    'Tis no humbug, shove round the jug,
    We won't go home till morning O.
    IV Verse
    My sporting boys we'll have no noise,
    No difference or squabble O.
    Let friendship start in every heart
    Don't imitate the rabble O.
    We will call away, we'll drink and pay
    Though misers may be scorning O.
    But let them be, keep up the spree
    We won't go home till morning O.
    V Verse
    Where'er I go, come weal or woe
    Whatever joys I share in O.
    I'll not forget the friends I met
    To-night in Knockagarry O.
