There was Tyghe, and Dermot, and Madam Shevaun,
And they all rode on a long-tailed gar-ron;[[144]]
And you’re kindly welcome, welcome all,
And you’re welcome, gramachree, welcome all.
There was sneezing galore, with full madders[[145]] of ale,
Which made maidens stagger and men for to reel;
And you’re kindly welcome, welcome all,
And you’re welcome, gramachree, welcome all.
Potatoes and herrings must please the men,
But madam the bride, she must have a fat hen;
