KILDARE

Gilbert Parker

He's the man that killed Black Care, He's the pride of all Kildare; Shure the devil takes his hat off whin he comes: ‘ Tis the clargy bow before him,

‘ Tis the women they adore him, And the Lord Lieutenant orders out the drums — For his hangin’, all the drums, All the drums!
