   "An' sure if I get drunk, well the money's me own,   
   Aye an' them don't like me they can l'ave me alone...."

   "..Even the cripple forgets he's bunched*   
   When he's snug outside of a jug of punch..."   
      
   [* or: 'even the cripple forgets his hunch...' ///   
   Singers can apply poetic licence and vary the wording slightly, as long as   
   they don't violate the spirit of the original traditional ballad....   
   ...I prefer that wording in Irish vernacular:   
   "EVEN THE CRIPPLE FORGETS HE'S BUNCHED,   
   WHEN HE'S SNUG OUTSIDE OF A JUG OF PUNCH!!]
