- (continued from previous page)Just drop into smith the forteen street,
he is from the Loughan Lay.Oh: dont be shy or bashful, but walk
straight to the bar
And mention Muff or Kingscourt, Breaky
or Drumbar.
He'll take a look all at you, and this
to you he'll say
I think I know your features, your from
the Loughan Lay.He'll start you a few questions, about
the things you know
Saying how is Mickie Reilly did yous
bury Para Joe.
He'll tell you that the sunshine is
the time to make the hay.
and mind you he can hold his own,
He's from the Loughan Lay
