A NEW SONG ON THE

KERRY MANS RAMBLES TO ADARE

One day being walking and weary from traveling I went into an ale-house and ask'd for a drink,

The landlady began she stood right oppisite me, And laid rhe'd brand my pate with a stone or o stick To me it was surprising when I heard her adress to me I kept my eye to the door for I knew she was watching me And boys if yuu knew the reason you'd soy the bels was ring ng But now my heart is dry and you'll fill me a drink,

The house being lonely I sought for to baffle her, But all that I wanted was my life for to save So I done my endeavonrs in trying to flatter her, All being no use she kept still in a rage, I sayes Mrs be easy do not give me such impertinance When she up with her nuckles and gave me a clink I'll not say nomore but I thought she d be temporate, So now my heart's dry wont you fill me a drink,

When all fun was over I ask'd what was wrong with her She smilling made answer will you come with me to live I hope you wont blame me for the insoleuce 4 gave you, I have an old husband & I'm afraid I'm sick, My heart he is breaking he is constanly railing, When these words she had spoken I then gave her a wink I promised to be faithful I near would deceive her

So now my heart's dry wont you fill me a drink,

There I was in clover the whole time never sober, Until the next moring surprise met my eyes I call'd all around there was no one to be found, But myself & dearest Peggy to my great surprise, She said my own darling did you feel uneasy, I hope you wont leave me till death close your eyes, Bnt early next morning I tie'd on my garters And off for the county Derry my mind it was bent,

when I got outside of the door & thought I got rid of her I said dearest Peggy farewell I,m going away, She then seize'd the poker & gave me such a clout of it, I thought she would braneime & send me to my grave, Oh Peggy be easy I pray you'll have patience I must aquaint my parents but make yourself happy in your new-years gift, For I must he going so farewell agramachree, I go away from this damsel will you fill me a drink, I thought to advise her but fail'd to ápease Her tounge was not able to explain whai she meant, Like a mill in full force that the ground would be ratling. But in my oyinion she was near broken hearted, For she blustred & rail'd never ceas'd garreling. As I'm a sinner this day her toungh it was rattleing, Where's my use in talking when I knew she was angrp, My heart it is dry wont you fill me a drink

I travel'd cork & killarny likewise the garnge of qlarney The seenery of Wicklow and the G ants causeway,

In all my rakeling and rambling although not a gambler The like of this damsel near crossed in my way I fought in Calcloud and the battle of I krman And the seige of Baldoff and from that did not flinch Peggy primadare you early had finish'd me, So now my hear 's dry will you fill me a drink
