Image of two
hollow ranches for courting,
A word of advice I will give unto ye,
Proceed to banteer to the athletic sports,
And hand in your names to
the club committee,
And never commence any sketch
on your programme,
Till the carriage you see
flying over the hill,
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'
Or drinkin' black porter as fast as you feel
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,
It was played in the park
on the banks of the Lee.
Our own darlin' lads
were afraid of bein' bitten,
So they sent for Bald Teddy
to ballin' agree.
He hurled that ball right
and left in their faces,
And showed the Tipperary
men action and skill.
If he touched on his lines,
he would certainly brain them,
And the papers were full
of the praise of Ted Quill.
For ramblin', for robin',
for football or courtin'
Or drinkin' black porter
as fast as you'll fill
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
Whose fortune exceeded
a million or more
But a bad constitution
had ruined her completely
And medical treatment had
failed o 'er and o 'er
Our mother says she sure
I know what will ease me
And cure this disease which
will certainly kill
Give over your doctors and
medical treatment
I'd rather one squeeze out
of bowl Teddy Quill
For ramblin', for rovin',
for football or courtin'
Or drinkin' black porter
as fast as you feel
In all your days rovin'
you'll find none so jovial
As a muscary sportsman,
the Bobble Teddy Quill
