I
would do the same for you.

I
feel as proud as proud can be
With
joy I'm like to chok'!
I've
got the nicest lass that ever
Buttoned
on a frock.
It
was by luck I met her
Allow
me to explain'
I
was going to Inverary at
The
Fair-time in the train.
Spoken;
You see, it was like this; I was standin' at the station waitin' on the
train comin' in; and
when
the train rushed into the station, everybody rushed to get into the train;
and who should

to get into the same compartment as me but this girl I'm telling you about.
Well, in the
rush
of the crush, her and Igot squeezed in the door, and and she yelled out,
"Oh! you're

Told
her she was a fairy.
Oh!
what a jollification we had
On
the road to Inverary.

Intending
to propose,
When
she cried out, "Let go my hands,
I
want to wipe my nose!"
Spoken:
Said I, "Here's a hanky, my lassie." Said she, "I've a hanky of my own."
Said I, How
would
ye like a husband of your own!" She said, "Do you want to tak' a lend of
me?" I said,
"No,
I want ye altogether." "Well," she said, "away and ask my mither."
Said I, "It's not
your
mither I want, it's you." I got so infatuated, said I, "Say
the word and we'll get spliced
the
morn." Said I, "Come close beside me." Said she, "I'll do nothing
of the kind." and just with
that
I threw my arms around her neck, and...
