   Come all ye jolly roving boys
   From Garryshane and Grage
   I'll sing for you a verse or two
   Indeed you'll find it strange,
   concering corkscrew O'Dwyer,
   who lately found a wife
   He has a farm up in Latten
   And leads a cawny fife,
   I was at the break of day one morning
   The neighbours did'nt know where
   some said it was a funeral
   and others said a fair
   But still they were suspcious
   and began to talk it o'er
   Till they found that he was married
