"A hAon, Dó, Trí, Ceathair" A higgledy-giggle, let go of me leg or I'll hook-a-ya with me horn O A diddley-dee-a let go of me or I'll leave ya bruised and torn O "No penal laws I did transgress By deed or combination O I have no certain place of rest No home or habitation O But Bansha is my dwelling place Where I was bred and born O I’m descended from an honest race That’s all the trade I've learned O." "A hAon, Dó, Trí, Ceathair" A higgledy-giggle, let go of me leg or I’ll hook-a-ya with me horn O A diddley-dee-a let go of me or I'll leave ya bruised and torn O "O the consequence be what it will A peeler's power I'll let you know I’ll handcuff you in all events And march you off to Bridewell O And sure there you rogue, you can't deny Before the judge or jury O Intimidation with your horns And threatening me with fury O." "A hAon, Dó, Trí, Ceathair" A higgledy-giggle, let go of me leg or I'll hook-a-ya with me horn O A diddley-dee-a let go of me or I'll leave ya bruised and torn O "I'll make no doubt but but you're drunk With whiskey, rum or brandy O Or you wouldn't have such gallant spunk To be so bold and manly O For you readily would let me pass If I had money handy O For to treat you to a poitín glass 'Tis then I'd be a-dandy O." "A higgledy-giggle, let go of me leg or I'll hook-a-ya with me horn O A diddley-dee-a let go of me or I'll leave ya bruised and torn O"
