TATTHER JACK WELSH.

Did you e’er meet a boy on the road to the fair,

With his merry blue eyes and his curly brown hair,

With his hands in his pockets, and whistling a jig,

To humour the way for himself and his pig?

Oh, that was the boy who has won my fond heart,

Whose eyes have sent through me a dangerous dart;

And cut out my sweetheart of old, Darby Kelsh—

Oh, my blessing attend you, my Tatther Jack Welsh!
