C 
Am 
C 
G 
A word of advice I will give unto ye,
C 
Proceed to banteer to the athletic sports,
And hand in your names to
G 
the club committee,
C 
And never commence any sketch
D 
on your programme,
G 
C 
Till the carriage you see
Am 
D 
G 
flying over the hill,
C 
Ride on through the valleys
and lands of Kilcarnie
With our own darling sportsman,
the bald Teddy Quill
For a -ramblin', for rovin',
for football or courtin'
D 
Or drinkin' black porter as fast as you feel
G 
C 
In all your days rovin'
you'll find I'm so jovial
As a muscary sportsman,
the bald Teddy Quill
At the great hurlin' match
between Cork and Tipperary,
Am 
It was played in the park

on the banks of the Lee.

C 
Our own darlin' lads
were afraid of bein' bitten,
So they sent for Bald Teddy
to ballin' agree.
He hurled that ball right
D 
and left in their faces,
G 
C 
And showed the Tipperary
Am 
D 
men action and skill.
G 
C 
If he touched on his lines,
he would certainly brain them,
Am 
And the papers   were full
C 
G

of the praise of Ted Quill.
For ramblin', for robin',
for football or courtin'
Or drinkin' black porter
D 
as fast as you'll fill
G 
C 
In all your days robin'
you'll find them so jovial
As a muscarise horseman about Petty Quill
At the Cork Exhibition
there was a fair lady
Am 
Whose fortune exceeded
C 
G 
a million or more
C 
But a bad constitution
had ruined her completely
Am 
C 
Am 
C 
And medical treatment had
failed o 'er and o 'er
G 
C 
Our mother says she sure
G 
I know what will ease me
C 
And cure this disease which
D 
will certainly kill
G 
C 
Give over your doctors and
medical treatment
I'd rather one squeeze out
of bowl Teddy Quill
G 
C 
For ramblin', for rovin',
for football or courtin'
Or drinkin' black porter
D 
as fast as you feel
G 
C 
C 
In all your days rovin'
you'll find none so jovial
As a muscary sportsman,
C 
the Bobble Teddy Quill
