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, O.
Then a roaring set at dinner were met,
So frolicksome and so frisky O;
Potatoes galore, a skirrag or more,
With a flowing madder of whisky O,
Then round, to be sure did'nt go the swipes,
At the bride's expence so freely O:
While the chanter with his merry pips,
Struck up a lilt so gaily O.
Teddery, teddery, &c.
And then at night. O what delight,
To see them capering and prancing O:
An opera or ball was nothing at all
Compar'd to the style of their dancing O,
And then to see old father Quipes
Beating time with his shilelah O,
While the chanter with his merry pipes
Stuck up a lilt so gaily O.
Teddery, teddery &c.
And now the knot so lucky are got,
They'll go to sleep without rocking O:
