BARNEY HARE 
 [bad word] Oh, I'm Barney Hare, from the County Clare, In Ireland I was born, oh 
I pawned my coat to pay the boat, and I landed here this morning. 

Shure when I landed on the quay, I found myself in danger; 
Some boys began to follow me, for the knew I was a stranger. 
Says one of them, 'Give me that stick' from me he tried to snatch it, 
So I brought it down upon his crown, with a blow that made him scratch it.  [bad word] 

Tho I'm Barney Hare, from the County Clare, I am not such a big fool, sir. 
You may think my manners strange and quare, tho in youth I went to school, sir; 
Let any man just try a trick on Barney Hare from Clare O
Sure I'd give him a wallop from this ould stick that would make him blink and stare, O  [bad word] 

I walked in peace and quietness till I came to the big church steeple, 
Says a fellah to me: 'Keep in your feet and don't be trippin' the people' 
Says I 'My man give me none of your buck' says he: 'Give me none of Blarney'', 
I gave him a clout on the flat of the snout, Says I: 'Remember Barney'.  [bad word] 

Sure 'tis I can dance and Irish reel, or the job of journey work, sir; 
I have got a heart as [bad word] as steel, sure I bate the fiercest Turk, sir. 
In the market square or at the fair all the latest songs I sing, sir; 
For I'm Barney Hare, from County Clare, who can make the rafters ring, sir.  [bad word]
