Dark and stormy was the night when first I met my Peg
She'd a government band around each hand and another one 'round her leg
She'd another one 'round her leg my boys and as I sing I pray
For she's doing it grand on a distant land, three thousand miles away

[Chorus]
Blow ye winds high ho, a roving I will go
I'll stay no more 'round England's shore so let the music play

When on the road to sweet Athy,
Hurroo Hurroo
When on the road to sweet Athy,
Hurroo Hurroo
When on the road to sweet Athy
A stick in the hand, A drop in the eye
A doleful damsel I heard cry
Johnny I hardly knew ya

I've kissed and courted them all,
gentle and simple, short and medium and tall
But kept a merry heart free, 'till it was stole unknownst by Kitty Magee
Her smiling face, her slender waist, her lips would tempt a saint to taste
Oh, sure it was small blame to me to lose my heart to Kitty Magee

'Twas down at Ballina Fair, colleens and boys were gaily stepping it there
And I the soul of the spree, when I set eyes on Kitty Magee

"Oh, Mrs. McGrath," the sergeant said
"Would you like to make a soldier out of your son Ted
With a scarlett coat and a big cocked hat
Oh, Mrs. McGrath, wouldn't you like that?"

[Chorus]
With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri, oor-ri-a
With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri, oor-ri-a

I'm a decent boy just landed
From the town of Ballyfad;
I want a situation, yes,
And want it very bad.
I have seen employment advertised,
"It's just the thing," says I,

The Men of the West
(William Rooney)
When you honor in song and in story
The names of the patriot men,
Whose valor has covered with glory
Full many a mountain and glen,
Forget not the boys of the heather
Who rallied their bravest and best
