"Who eVr hatl theltickto see Donnv hrook fair,
An Iri^h man all in his glory is there,
With his SViig of Shillelah and Shamrock so gr»-rn.
His Cloaths spic and span new without eVr a spefk ,
A. neat Barcelona tied round his nice neck , '
He goes to a tent and h« spends halt a crown.
He meets with a friend and i»/r love knocks him down,
With his Sprig oi' Shilleij»i» and Shamrock so ;rreen .

At Ev'fiing retnrn^bg as homewards he goes,.
His heart soft with^ whisky his head soft with ^ilows ,
From a Sprig of Shillelah and Shamrock so green,
He meets with his Shelih who hlcishing a smile,
Cfies'* gjt't agon l*at" yet consents all the while ,
To the I'ricNl soon lliey go and nine months after that,
A fine Bahie cries "bow d'ye do father Pat?*
With votir Sprig of Shillelah and Shamrdfik so green.
Bless the Country 1 say that.gave Patrick his hi rth,
Bless the Laud of the OaUun'l its neighhouring earth.
Where grows the Shillelali" aVid Shamro'.k so green,
May the Sons of Ihe Thames the Tweed and Shannon ,
