When we arrived in our native country,
all the whole case to my father made known;
Five hundred pounds he gave us,
If that would not serve us,
He’d give us still more in the County Tyrone.

These two live together,
In joy and great pleasure,
if you want to see them you must go to Tyrone.
My love’s name to finish,
Is Miss Jeany Innes;
Myself bold M‘Ginnes, from the County Tyrone.



CAPTAIN MULLIGAN.


O Love is a plague by night and by day.
Once that post you run your skull again;
Love it was for Kitty O’Shea,
That bother’d the heart of Captain Mulligan.

Light and merrily, light and gay,
Stout and merrily, smart and readily.
Soft and funnily, blyth and bonnily,
Quite an Adonis was Captain Mulligan.

He was willing, she was killing,
Soft she cried to brave O Mulligan,
O you jewel-cruel jewel!
Willing, killing Captain Mulligan!
