She runneth from Cork to Dublin straight,

She plays with the stones, she mocks the sands,

Or like a tilted waggon stands.

I’m on the Mail, I’m on the Mail!

I am where I would ever sail,

With the dust before and the dust behind,

And driving straight before the wind,

If a storm should come, and disturb my ride,

What matter! what matter! I can jump inside.

I love, O! how I love to drive,
