Duffy's Hotel

If you're longing for fun and enjoyment, or inclined to go out on a spree,
Come along with me over to Boiestown, on the banks of the Mirimachi.
You'll meet with a toyal reception, the truth unto you I'll relate.
On the 18th of May I arrived here, from Fredericton came on the freight.

One night I went out on a party, I'll tell you 'twas something immense.
We collared a Shanghai rooster, it cost us just 17 cents.
He was sick with the croup and the measles, they said he was too poor to sell,
So I guess he made hash for the boarders that put up at Duffy's Hotel.

One night I went out on a party along with the rest of the boys.
We got full of Peely Island, I'll tell you we made lots of noise.
We frightened the pigs up in Tugtown, caused Pleasant Ridge dogs for to yell,
And when we got kicked out of Haysville, we struck her for Duffy's Hotel.

One night I went out on a party, 'twas held in the mansion below.
A row was kicked up in the kitchen, I tell you it wasn't too slow.
We upset the chairs and the tables, the windows and stove too they fell.
The row was kicked up by Delaney, a boarder at Duffy's Hotel.

Well friends I must bid you good evening, for fear you will think me a Turk.
If I linger round here any longer, some fellow might give me a jerk.
I'll go back to the scenes of my childhood ,in peace and contentment to dwell.
Bid adieu to the kind entertainment I met with at Duffy's Hotel.
