The Louse House Of Kilkenny |
| Oh, the first of me downfall I set out the door |
| I straight made me way on for Carrick-on-Suir |
| Going out by Rathronan 'twas late in the night |
| Going out the West Gate for to view the gaslight |
| Radley fal the diddle ay |
| Radley fal the diddle airo |
| I went to the town’s hall to see the big lamp |
| And who should I meet but a bloody big tramp |
| I finally stepped over and to him I said: |
| «Will you kindly direct me to where I’ll get a bed?» |
| Radley fal the diddle ay |
| Radley fal the diddle airo |
| 'Twas then he directed me down to Cooks Lane |
| To where old Buck St John kept an old sleeping cage |
| From out of the door was a small piece of board |
| Hung out on two nails with a short piece of cord |
| Radley fal the diddle ay |
| Radley fal the diddle airo |
| I looked up and down till I found out the door |
| And a queerer old household sure I ne’er saw before |
| Then the Misses came out and these words to me said: |
| «If you give me three coppers, sure I’ll give you a |
| Bed» |
| Radley fal the diddle ay |
| Radley fal the diddle airo |
| Well I then stood aside with me back to the wall |
| And the next thing I saw was an oul cobbler’s stall |
| And there was the cobbler and he mending his brogues |
| With his hammers and pinchers all laid in a row |
| Radley fal the diddle ay |
| Radley fal the diddle airo |
| Then she brought me upstairs and she put out the light |
| And in less than five minutes I had to show fight |
| And in less than five more when the story was best |
| The fleas came around me and brought me a curse |
| Radley fal the diddle ay |
| Radley fal the diddle airo |
| 'Twas all around me body they formed a march |
| 'Twas all around me body they played the Death march |
| For the bloody oul major gave me such a pick |
| That he nearly made away with half of me hip |
| Radley fal the diddle ay |
| Radley fal the diddle airo |
| Now I’m going to me study, these lines to pen down |
| And if any poor traveller should e’er come to town |
| And if any poor traveller should be nighted like me |
| Beware of Buck St John and his black cavalry |
| Radley fal the diddle ay |
| Radley fal the diddle airo |
