Riding from Coleraine	A
Famed for lovely Kitty	B
Came a Cockney bound	C
Unto Derry city	B
Weary was his soul	D
Shivering and sad he	B
Bumped along the road	E
Leads to Limavaddy	E
	-
Mountains stretch'd around	E
Gloomy was their tinting	F
And the horse's hoofs	G
Made a dismal clinting	F
Wind upon the heath	H
Howling was and piping	F
On the heath and bog	F
Black with many a snipe in	A
Mid the bogs of black	F
Silver pools were flashing	F
Crows upon their sides	I
Picking were and splashing	F
Cockney on the car	J
Closer folds his plaidy	E
Grumbling at the road	E
Leads to Limavaddy	E
	-
Through the crashing woods	K
Autumn brawld and bluster'd	E
Tossing round about	E
Leaves the hue of mustard	E
Yonder lay Lough Foyle	L
Which a storm was whipping	F
Covering with mist	E
Lake and shores and shipping	F
Up and down the hill	M
Nothing could be bolder	N
Horse went with a raw	O
Bleeding on his shoulder	N
'Where are horses changed '	-
Said I to the laddy	E
Driving on the box	P
'Sir at Limavaddy '	-
	-
Limavaddy inn's	Q
But a humble bait house	R
Where you may procure	S
Whiskey and potatoes	T
Landlord at the door	U
Gives a smiling welcome	V
To the shivering wights	T
Who to his hotel come	V
	-
Landlady within	A
Sits and knits a stocking	F
With a wary foot	E
Baby's cradle rocking	F
To the chimney nook	F
Having found admittance	T
There I watch a pup	W
Playing with two kittens	T
Playing round the fire	N
Which of blazing turf is	T
Roaring to the pot	E
Which bubbles with the murphies	T
And the cradled babe	X
Fond the mother nursed it	E
Singing it a song	F
As she twists the worsted	E
	-
Up and down the stair	Y
Two more young ones patter	N
Twins were never seen	A
Dirtier nor fatter	N
Both have mottled legs	T
Both have snubby noses	T
Both have Here the host	E
Kindly interposes	T
'Sure you must be froze	T
With the sleet and hail sir	N
So will you have some punch	Z
Or will you have some ale sir '	-
	-
Presently a maid	E
Enters with the liquor	N
Half a pint of ale	A2
Frothing in a beaker	N
Gads didn't know	A
What my beating heart meant	E
Hebe's self I thought	E
Entered the apartment	E
As she came she smiled	E
And the smile bewitching	F
On my word and honor	N
Lighted all the kitchen	A
	-
With a curtsy neat	E
Greeting the new comer	N
Lovely smiling Peg	F
Offers me the rummer	N
But my trembling hand	E
Up the beaker tilted	E
And the glass of ale	A2
Every drop I spilt it	E
Spilt it every drop	B2
Dames who read my volumes	T
Pardon such a word	E
On my what d'ye call 'ems	T
	-
Witnessing the sight	E
Of that dire disaster	N
Out began to laugh	C2
Missis maid and master	N
Such a merry peal	D2
'Specially Miss Peg's was	T
As the glass of ale	A2
Trickling down my legs was	T
That the joyful sound	E
Of that mingling laughter	N
Echoed in my ears	T
Many a long day after	N
	-
Such a silver peal	D2
In the meadows listening	F
You who've heard the bells	T
Ringing to a christening	F
You who ever heard	E
Caradori pretty	E
Smiling like an angel	E2
Singing 'Giovinetti '	-
Fancy Peggy's laugh	C2
Sweet and clear and cheerful	E2
At my pantaloons	T
With half a pint of beer full	F2
	-
When the laugh was done	A
Peg the pretty hussy	E
Moved about the room	G2
Wonderfully busy	E
Now she looks to see	E
If the kettle keep hot	E
Now she rubs the spoons	T
Now she cleans the teapot	E
Now she sets the cups	T
Trimly and secure	N
Now she scours a pot	E
And so it was I drew her	N
	-
Thus it was I drew her	N
Scouring of a kettle	E2
Faith her blushing cheeks	T
Redden'd on the metal	E2
Ah but 'tis in vain	A
That I try to sketch it	E
The pot perhaps is like	F
But Peggy's face is wretched	E
No the best of lead	E
And of indian rubber	N
Never could depict	E
That sweet kettle scrubber	N
	-
See her as she moves	T
Scarce the ground she touches	T
Airy as a fay	H2
Graceful as a duchess	T
Bare her rounded arm	I2
Bare her little leg is	T
Vestris never show'd	E
Ankles like to Peggy's	T
Braided is her hair	N
Soft her look and modest	E
Slim her little waist	E
Comfortably bodiced	E
	-
This I do declare	N
Happy is the laddy	E
Who the heart can share	N
Of Peg of Limavaddy	E
Married if she were	N
Blest would be the daddy	E
Of the children fair	N
Of Peg of Limavaddy	E
Beauty is not rare	N
In the land of Paddy	E
Fair beyond compare	N
Is Peg of Limavaddy	E
	-
Citizen or Squire	N
Tory Whig or Radi	E
cal would all desire	N
Peg of Limavaddy	E
Had I Homer's fire	N
Or that of Serjeant Taddy	E
Meetly I'd admire	N
Peg of Limavaddy	E
And till I expire	N
Or till I grow mad I	J2
Will sing unto my lyre	N
Peg of Limavaddy	E
