the night the gards raided owenys - the mary wallopers lyrics

one evening o’ late
down to crow street i strayed
to a bar that’s famous for doin’ the late trade
in vodka and whiskey, and red lemonade
among company that’s kindly and jovial
the man from [conallaigh?] put me at me ease
and he sat me down easy beside a big blaze
he poured me a pint, and a half on the place
and another wee drop came from oweny

for an hour and a half, i drank liquor so rare
i yet swear it was brewed by the gods [i declare?]
out of nectar and honey and lotuses fair
and it frеshly came over the bordеr
at half past eleven, i sadly prepared
to return to my lodgings, back where i was reared
i packed up my bags, i was filled with [?]
and then oweny put in a big order
so the [?] relaxed, and returned to their drinks
rejoicing that now they need not feel the pinch
peter short finished off the last eighth of an inch;
he was supping since twenty past seven
and the music began, in an old fashioned style
you would travel to hear it, for manys a mile
we were laughin’ and dancin’ away all the while
i thought i was dead and in heaven

oh, there were lads there from newry, the rock and the [?]
and some came from belfast and never went back
and more lived convenient, the carrolls and blacks
and every man jacks swilling porter
some came from hill street, and more from the cave
some crossmaglen patriots, tearing away
in a [?] on the boyne, they were all in array
and each one kept themselves in good order

and now a big dirty guard, was out on the street;
on passing the door, heard the music so sweet
he kicked up his heels, for to beat a retreat
to summon up two of his cronies
they quickly returned to the scene of the crime
