ARTFUL YOUNG BARNEY KEHOE.

Will ye 'no for the Gap o' Dunloe, t (iinm. ? till ! I'm L'laii. o* that same ! All the (o-irists think shame To 1 e missin' ttio (lap o' Dunloe— They do so. Now t hon whisper 1 .Mayhap When ye come on the Gap Yo'U he seem' a luss On this side o' the pass That'll ax for the toll. She's a daeint good soul, Though the eyes of her twinkle so droll. Well, ye'll pay her the tax, Air ye'll wink ail' ye'll ax — 'Would ye marry young Barney Kehoc ?" — 'Tis a hit of a joke That the folk love to poke At the las o' the Gap o' Dunloe. An' it's where whin ye've done wid Dunloe Will ye go ? Ye'll be wise to come back By this very same thrack, Fur there's little that's back o' Dunloe — There is so. Sure the hills are so bare There's no scenery there Like the kind that ye find On this side, d'ye mind ? So, I'll watch for the day Whin ye're passin' this way Jist to hear what the lass had to say, When she made her reply To the wink o' yer eye An' yer joke at the Gap o' Dunloe — Is it who may I be ? Ye'll find me, d'ye sec, If ye'll ax for young Barney Kehoe. —T. A. Daly, in the "Catholic Standard and Times."
