GERALDINE.
Arrali, Teddy dear, be-dad I bear The news that’s goin’ round, That in Temuka, t’other day, Yer manly voice was dhrowued ; You wanted for to tell the boy r ß How faithful you have been, So timed an’ thrue to Timaru, An’ staunch to Geraldine. The railway' schaime (an’ little blame I’ll throw on you for that), You did condim, an’ thin, avick, You nixt begun to chat On Native brawls, an' ugly calls For taxes —faix, yer keen To plaise the boys who make a noise Below in Geraldine. Avick, machree, it’s thrue for me, Yer tongue is mighty sweet, At blarney you can hould yer own Wid any boy you meet. You’ve had your aay and run down Grey The boys were purty green, To swallow all that you let fall Below in Geraldine. Paddy Munriiv, in “ Public Opinion
