 By my shoul says Pat, you may say that,

To the ead of the world and after O.

Then tenderly her hand he gripes

And kisses her genteely O,

While the chanter with his merry pipes,

Struck up a lilt so gaily O.

Teddery, teddery, &c.

Then a roaring set at dinner were met,

So and so frisky O:

galore a skirreg or more,

With a flowing madder of whisky O.

Their sound to be sure did'nt go the 'swipes,

At the bride's expense so freely O,

While to wish them fun the merry pipes

Struck up a lilt so gaily O.

Teddery, teddery &c.

And then at night O what

To see them

An opera or ball was nothing

Compar'd to of their dancing O.

And then to see old father Quipes

time with his shilelah O,

And all the while the merry pipes

Stuck up a lilt so gaily O.

Teddery teddery, &c.
