The hero of Ballinacrazy/The Hero of Ballinacrazy

THE HERO OF BALLINACRAZY.

When I lived in sweet Ballincrazy, dear
The girls were all tight as a daisy, dear;
When I gave them a smack, they whisper'd,
good lack! (aisy,dear;
And cried, Paddy; now can’t you be
First I married Miss Dolly O’Dazy dear,
She had two swivel eyes, wore a jazey,
dear;
Then to fat Miss Malone, weighing seventeen
stone; (dear.
Then to lantern-jaw’d skinny O’Crazy,
When I lived, &c.

Then I married Miss Dorothy Taisy,
dear,
A toast once in Ballinacrazy, dear;
Her left leg was good, but its fellow was
wood, (sy, dear.
And she hopp’d like a duck round a dai-
When I lived, &c.

Then I married her sister, Miss Taizy,
dear,(dear
But she turn’d out so idle and lazy,
That I took from the peg my deceased
lady’s leg, (dear.
For to lather my live one when lazy,
When I lived, &c.

Then I pick’d up rich old Mother Hazy,
dear, (Blaze dear;
She’d a cough, and employ’d Doctor
But some drops that he gave, dropp’d her, into
her grave, (dear,
And her cash made me very soon aisy,
When I lived, &c.

Then says I to old’ Father O’Mazy dear,
Don’t my weddings and funerals please
you, dear?
Ouch! says he, you blackguard, betwixt
church and churchyard,
Why you never will let me be aisy, dear
When I lived, &c.

Och! woman! I live but to please, you,
dear,
I’m the hero of Ballinacrazy, dear!
I’ll marry you all, lean, fat, short, and
tall,
One after the other to please you, dear.
When I lived, &c.
