TIM Murphy`s gon` walkin` wid Maggie O`Neill, O chone! If I was her muther, I`d frown on sich foolin`, O chone! I`m sure its unmutherlike, darin` an` wrong To let a gyrul hear `tell the sass an` the song Of every young felly that happens along, O chone! An` Murphy, the things that`s be`n sed of his doin`, O chone! `Tis a cud that no dacent folks wants to be chewin`, O chone! If he came to my door wid his cane on a twirl, Fur to thry to make love to you, Biddy, my girl, Ah, wouldn`t I send him away wid a whirl, O chone! They say the gossoon is indecent and dirty, O chone! In spite of his dressin` so. O chone! Let him dress up ez foine ez a king or a queen, Let him put on more wrinkles than ever was seen, You`ll be sure he`s no match for my little colleen, O chone! Faith the two is comin` back an` their walk is all over, O chone! `Twas a pretty short walk fur to take wid a lover, O chone! Why, I believe that Tim Murphy`s a kumin` this way, Ah, Biddy jest look at him steppin` so gay, I`d niver belave what the gossipers say, O chone! He`s turned in the gate an` he`s coming a caperin`, O chone! Go Biddy, go quick an` put on a clane apern, O chone! Be quick as ye kin fur he`s right at the dure; Come in, master Tim, fur ye`re welcome I`m shure. We were talkin` o` ye jest a minute before. O chone!
