Bold Thady Quill
Ye maids of Duhallow who’re anxious for courtin’
A word of advice I will give unto ye
Proceed to Banteer, to the athletic sportin’
And hand in ye’r names to the club committee

And never commence any sketch on your programme
‘Till a carriage you see flyin’ over the hill
Right down thro’ the valleys and lands of Kilcorney
With their own darlin' sportsman the bold Thady Quill

For ramblin’ for rovin’ for football or courtin’
For drinkin black porter as fast as you’d fill
In all your days rovin’ you’d find none so jovial
As the Muskery sportsman the bold Thady Quill

At the great hurlin’ match between Cork and Tipperary
‘Twas played in the park on the banks of the Lee
Our own darlin’ lads were afraid of being beaten
So thеy sent for bold Thady to Ballinagree

He hurled that ball lеft and right in their faces
And show’d the Tipperary men action and skill
If they touched on his lines he would certainly brain them
And the papers were full of the praise of Thady Quill
For ramblin’ for rovin’ for football or courtin’
For drinkin black porter as fast as you’d fill
In all your days rovin’ you’d find none so jovial
As the Muskery sportsman the bold Thady Quill

At the Cork Exhibition there was a fair lady
Whose fortune exceeded a million or more
But a bad constitution had ruined her completely
And medical treatment had failed o’er and o’er

Her mother said she "Sir I know what will ease me
And cure this disease which will certainly kill
Give over your doctors and medical treatment
I'd rather one squeeze out of bold Thady Quill"

For ramblin’ for rovin’ for football or courtin’
For drinkin black porter as fast as you’d fill
In all your days rovin’ you’d find none so jovial
As the Muskery sportsman the bold Thady Quill
