Killains Hotel
I
I went into Forgney one day last July
After doing a long march from the fair of Athy
I was hungry and tired and my money was light
All I had was a shilling for my lodging that night
II
I went into Killians to try to take place
Now boys you will call this a common disgrace
When I asked for the lodging Mrs Killian said right
But mind you will pay me a shilling each night
III
When I got up next morning I thought I would go wild
No fire was lit and no kettle was boiled
I will put her name on the paper and make her do right
And give better fair play for a shilling a night
