THE IRISH INN. Si 



All my three sons want a change, now, 

 You've a lovely mountain range, now, 

 Sure the air would brace them, Murphy, try an' take them 

 av you can.'' 



So I wrote, " It's what I'll do, ma'am, 



Av it's for the likes of you, ma'am. 

 Is there any kind of diet that yourself would recommend ? " 



"Asses' milk is very healthy," 



Wrote the Queen, "I'm very wealthy, 

 An' I'll pay for ony extras for themselves or for a friend." 



" Faix ! " I wrote, " we'll not deny them, 

 It's the cow that shall supply them," 

 So an aide-de-camp from Windsor was sent over with the 

 pails ; 



Mixed with rum 'twas just the thing, sor, 

 An' it made them dance an' sing, sor : 

 " Ah ! " they said, " long life to Murphy, his invention 

 never fails." 



Av ye lead a single life, sor, 



An' you're seeking for a wife, sor, 

 I can find one for you, Major, an' I'll trate you as a friend ; 



Av I can't, why it's a pity, 



All the girls in Dublin city 

 Say that Murphy finds them husbands and on Murphy they 

 depend.
