Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

One evening of late into Bandon I strayed
\nI was bound for Clonakilty I was making me way
\nAt Ballinishcarthy some time I delayed
\nFor to wet me auld whistle with porter<\/p>\n

Tithery-ow-tow, tithery-ow-tow
\nTithery-ow-tow-tow-tum
\nTithery-ow-tah-den, tithery-ow-tow
\nTithery-ow-tow-tum
\nTithery-ow-tah-den, doodle-e-darrow<\/p>\n

Well I spat in me fist and I picked up me stick
\nAnd up the coach road like a deer I did skip
\nFor I care not for bailiff landlord or auld Nick
\nAnd sang like a lark in the morning<\/p>\n

Well I scarcely had travelled one mile of the road
\nWhen I heard a dispute in a farmers abode
\nThe son of the landlord an ill looking toad
\nAnd the wife of the bold tenant farmer<\/p>\n

He said what the devil’s come over you all?
\nNot one penny of rent at each time that I call
\nBy next October I’ll settle you all
\nFor you’ll have the high road for your garden<\/p>\n

“Here’s to Father O’Leary the pride of our isle
\nHe’s the boy that can title you ruffians in style
\nJohn Dillon and Davitt who rank in their file
\nTake care you don’t tread on their corns<\/p>\n

Then I stepped out from the bush where I lay
\nAnd as he passed by me I heard him to say
\n“I wish to my God I was ten miles away
\nFrom the wife of the bold tenant farmer”<\/p>\n

I shouted “Hurrah” and she shouted “Huroo”
\nHe showed his back and like lightning he flew
\nSaying “God save the Land League and old Ireland too
\nAgus f\u00e1gaim\u00edd si\u00fad mar a t\u00e1 s\u00e9\u2019<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
