THE IRISH WEDDING⟨.⟩
Sure wont you hear what roving cheer,
Was spread at Paddy's wedding O,
And how so gay they spent the day,
From churching to the bedding O:
First book in hand came Father Quipes,
With the brides dad the ballie O:
While the chanter with his merry pipes,
Struck up a lilt gaily O.
Teddery, taddery, &c.
Now there was Mat and sturdy Pat,
And merry Morgan Murphy:
And Murdoch Mags and ⟨Tirloch⟩ Skags,
M'Laughlan and Dick Durfey O.
And then the girls rigged out in white,
Led on by Ted O'Reily O;
While the chanter with his merry pipes,
Struck up a lilt so gaily O.
Teddery, teddery, &c.
When Pat was asked if his love would last,
The chapel echoed with laughter O:
By my soul, says Pat, you may say that,
To the end of the world, and after O.
