- (continued from previous page)The coach man is unseated. O what do they mean
While team leave their traces, men take their places
To draw missy back to Halston again. There
was fiddlers and fifers, fluters and pipers,
and tombreens tipping to march in quadrill.
The roadsides were lighted and all were delighted,
And the cheers reached over Daleystown Hill.VI
The day light is now beaming, the sun is now raising
And streaming o'er hollyhood o'er mountain and foam
And the general bete for to finish the fete
is parting salute, the order was home
The fiddle and flute played a parling salute.
And again to the missey our bumpers
will fill the pride of our land was brave
Camel and bon. Three cheers now for
Halston and Daleystown Hill.Told to my by my father Maisie Gibney
