- (continued from previous page)If I don't mistake I me as well tell you
We hadn't a make
We inclined all together
In our own native town
And soon got in touch with the man
That carried Mulligan's pound(3)
This wise man from Skeagh
On to him we dictate
When we moved with a motion
His good to advise
That we would spend it on Guinness
To humour the boys
He went to a pub
Near the end of a town
The bar man his sleeves rolled up
And his braces let down
He carried us in porter
Until he closed up that night
And we soon put an end
To Mulligan's pound.(4)
We drank a health to them all
That came there that night
Not for getting them that come
To make wrongs all right
But to the old damsel at the end of her days(continues on next page)- Collector
