   Oh! Venus I'd have you remain in your lair
   Our females outdo you I vow and declare
   You ne'er would have obtained the famed apple from Paris
   Had it been contended in Tottenham's Fair.

   The Gods that resided on lofty Mount Ida
   The musical nine have forsaken their hill
   In one combination this place in their station
   Appolo is playing both lofty + shrill.
   Whole crowds of spectators in lofty gazebos
   And platform stages aloft in the air
   In sweet Kiltyclogher for their recreation
   Resounding the praises of Tottenham's Fair.

   Before I conclude I must get a full bumper
   And drink to great Tottenham long may he reign
   Enjoying the pleasure of sharing his treasure
   In kindly benevolence where it was gained
   A friend to his tenants of every gradation
   His peoples, his wealth + their freedom his care,
   And sages unborn in sweet Kiltyclogher
   Will drink to the gentleman founded their Fair.

   Written by an itinerant ballad singer named Michlas McCarthy about 1857 a native of Co. Sligo whom I remember to have seen + heard sing in his own "Kilty" about 48 years ago. J.Kenny
