Be aisy an' list to a chune
That's sung of bowld Tim the Dragoon
Sure, 'twas he'd niver miss
To be stalin' a kiss,
Or a brace, by the light of the moon
Aroon
Wid a wink at the Man in the Moon!
Rest his sowl where the daisies grow thick;
For he's gone from the land of the quick:
But he's still makin' love
To the leddies above,
An' be jabbers! he'll tache 'em the thrick
Avick
Niver doubt but he'll tache 'em the thrick!
'Tis by Tim the dear saints'll set sthore,
And 'ull thrate him to whisky galore:
For they 've only to sip
But the tip of his lip
An' bedad! they'll be askin' for more
Asthore
By the powers, they'll be shoutin' 'Ancore!'
