Sure I lived a whole yare [said young Patrick Maroney]
Widin the same hash'ry wid Michael Mahoney,
Around the same table we bored and we boarded,
And ate iverything that the panthry afforded:
But that was enough for the price, I'll allow—
Which was nothin' to what cooked provisions is now.
An' wid chaffin' an' laughin' we got along well,
And I loved him as much as I'd care for to tell.
