Old Song (continued)
“I cut my stick and I greased my brogues”
(continued from previous page)9 "Be careful" cried I "Sir"
10. He swore if I'd either speak or stir
He'd blow out both my eyes, Sir,
The muzzle to me head he cracked,
Three steps I did retire,
The pan it flashed - His head I smashed,
A sweet shillelagh you never missed fire!
With my Tilly macoo etcVerse 7
If to the bottom she does go,
I do not care one farthing,
I paid my passage to Pargate
And I'll make them stick to their bargain!
Chorus - With my Tilly macoo.
