3 That I took from the peg my deceased

lady’s leg, (dear.

For to lather my live one when lazy,

When I lived, &c.

Then I pick’d up rich old Mother Hazy,

dear, (Blaze dear;

She’d a cough, and employ’d Doctor

But some drops that he gave, dropp’d her, into

her grave, (dear,

And her cash made me very soon aisy,

When I lived, &c.

Then says I to old’ Father O’Mazy dear,

Don’t my weddings and funerals please

you, dear?

Ouch! says he, you blackguard, betwixt

church and churchyard,

Why you never will let me be aisy, dear

When I lived, &c.

Och! woman! I live but to please, you,

dear,

I’m the hero of Ballinacrazy, dear!

I’ll marry you all, lean, fat, short, and

tall,

One after the other to please you, dear.

When I lived, &c.
