Love
Kildare
From Embers (1895)
Love
He’s the man that killed Black Care,
He’s the pride of all Kildare;
Shure the devil takes his hat off whin he comes:
‘Tis the clargy bow before him,
‘Tis the women they adore him,
And the Lord Lieutenant orders out the drums--
For his hangin’, all the drums,
All the drums!
