Ye maids of Duhallow who're anxious for courtin'
A word of advice I will give unto thee
Proceed to Banteer to the athletic sportin'
And hand in your names to the club committee
And never commence any sketch on your programme
'Till a carriage you see flyin' over the hill
Right on through the valleys and lands of Kilcorney
With our own darlin' sportsman the bold Thady Quill
For Ramblin' for rovin' for football or courtin'
For drinkin' black porter as fast as you'd fill
In all your days rovin' you'd find none so jovial
As the Muskerry sportsman the bold Thady Quill
At the great hurlin' match between Cork and Tipperary
Twas played in the park on the banks of the Lee
Our own darlin' lads were afraid of bein' beaten
So they sent for bold Thady to Ballinagree
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 Thade Quill
For Ramblin' for rovin' for football or courtin'
For drinkin' black porter as fast as you'd fill
In all your days rovin' you'll find none so jovial
As our Muskerry sportsman the bold Thady 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 oer' and oer'
Her mother says she sir 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 Bold Thady Quill
For Ramblin' for rovin' for football or courtin'
For drinkin' black porter as fast as you'd fill
In all your days rovin' you'll find none so jovial
As our Muskerry sportsman the bold Thady Quill
