In the pig towns o' Scotland when shul come ashore.
They'll pi cry, see the Pat wi' hims packside afore.
Ballynamony and Oro, &c.
A Paddy's an unco queer thing.

Says Paddy to Donald, I'd beg you to whisht,
Or by our Saint Patrick, I'll lend you my fist.
Quoth Donald to Pady, shu maunna do that
Or they'll cry, see the Highland man threshing the Pat.
Ballynamony and Oro, &c.
The Highlandman threshing the Pat.

Well, well then, cries Paddy, let's make up the matter,
Now, as we're both learn'd men, we cannot do better,
Than both to shake hands o'er a good hearty doze
O the stout Irish Usquebæ smells at my nose.
Ballynamony and Oro, &c.
The stout Irish whisky for me.

Contented says Donald, and so may dear Pat,
I'll propose a learn’d squestion to keep us in chat,
