    (continued from previous page)
    Just call to Smith's in Fourteenth Street, he is from the Loughinlea,
    You need no introduction, just walk up to the bar,
    Mention Muff, or Kingscourt, Lisnasassonagh or Drumbar,
    He is sure to look you over, and I'll bet pull hear him say,
    "I think I know your features you're from the Loughinlea".
    He will start you a few questions, if business it is low
    How is Mikey Reilly,- or the death of 'Porra' Joe
    But you always must remember when it comes your turn to pay,
    Never to look for credit; you're from the Loughinlea.
