What`s clearer than crystal,Smoother than honey, and stronger than steam?What`ll make the dumb talk? What`ll make the lame walk--The elixur of life and philosopher`s stone?And what helped Mr. Brunell to dig the Thames tunnel?Wasn`t it poteen me boys from old Innishowen?Then stick to the cratur the best thing in natureFor sinkin` your sorrows, and raisin` your joys.Oh, Lord knows I wonder if lighting and thunderWas made from the plunder of poteen me boys.
