The Hero of Ballinacrazy

AIR. Young May Moon.

When I lived in sweet Ballinacrazy, dear, The girls were all tight as a daisy, dear; When I gave them a smack, they whisper'd good lack! And cried, Paddy, now can't you be aisy, dear?

First I married Miss Dolly O Daisy dear, She had two swivel eyes, wore a jazy dear; Then to, fat Miss Malone, weighing seventeen stone; Then to leathern-jaw'd skinny O Crazy, dear. When I lived, &c.

Then I married Miss Dorothy Taisy, dear, A toast once in Ballinacrazy, dear; Her left leg was good, but its fellow was wood. And she hoop'd like a duck round a daisy, dear, When I lived, &c.

Then I married her sister, Miss Taisy, dear, But she turn'd out so idle and lazy, dear, That I took from the peg my deceas'd lady's leg, For to leather the live one when lazy, dear, When I lived. &c.

Then I pick'd up old rich Mother Hazy, dear, She'd a cough, and employ'd Dr. Blazy, dear, But some drops that he gave, dropt her intoher grave, And her cash made me very soon aisy, dear. When I lived, &c.
