   (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)

   I am welcome at once to come into the room
   Where the boys are all drinking the porter
   Fágfaidh mé tú mar a tá sé

   But now for the future I mean to be wise
   I'll send for those women who acted so kind
   I'll marry them all tomorrow, bym-by
   If the clergy will agree to the bargain
   Fágfaidh mé tú mar tá sé

   He had 700 wives and his wisdom was highly recorded
   But now he's laid on his back among nettles and stones
   Agus fágaidh mé tú mar tá sé

   Old Croker lived in ------------- down near Limerick City. He was dying this time and he kept saying ---------------- (a very nasty word). All they could do they could get him to stop until a woman said she would make stop using that word------------------
   When the minister came to him he said
   You are going to a far better place than
   "I doubt it" says Croker
   [I heard the latter part of this story all my life in Co Carlow: Hence the nath: " 'I doubt it' says Croker"]
