    to give her some cheek.
    iii
    'Tis for ould Peter he is like
    an ould hawk,
    He is chancely watching for
    something to talk,
    And now to include and to
    finish my song,
    I will have something for
    Katty before it be long.
    I will buy her a cock and
    its tail will be green
    It will be one of the airiest
    that ever was seen
    It will make her mind easy
    And keep her at home
    And likewise her turkeys the
    way they wont roam.
