- The night was dark, and the dogs
did bark
To Gilmore's we all did go
And a half-a-crown
We all lay down before we entered
the floor
Nellie looked grand with the teapot
in her hand
And the pouring out the tea,
In comes Fox with his well shaved
locks singing "Era little drop for me.
Sit down there Ned is the words
she said,
For I know you like it strong
It's not long wet
And you need not fret,
For Matty is not long gone.
Pat Englishby was there and his
sister Annie Kate,
Matt Devine he did look fine
dancing with the Kells bar-maid
And Poyntons Joe from Druminroe
come there with Nan Devine.
