Overnight before Larry was stretched
The boys they all paid him a visit
And a bit in their bags too they fetched
They sweated their duds 'til they risen
For Larry was ever the lad
When a boy was conned into the squeezer
For to pawn all the duds that he had
And to help the poor lad to a sneeze-up
And warm his gob before he died
Oh, the boys they all crowded in fast
They threw up their chairs from the boulting
Six limbs on his brackies were placed
For he couldn't be well wake without them
When one of the boys did he die
Oh, without having duly repented
Larry says, "Now it's all in my eyes
And curse be the clergy invented
To get a bad bit for themselves"
Oh, then in come the clergy with rope
He spoke him so neat and so civil
Larry gave him a Kilmainham blow
And slipped his big wig to the devil
And sighing he threw back his head
For to get a good swig of the bottle
And with his head up towards Heaven he cried
Oh, the hemp will be soon 'round me throttle
To squeeze me poor windpipe to death
Oh, when he came to bed on him ship
He was tucked up so neat and so pretty
And the lumber shoved off from his feet
And he died with his face towards the city
He kicked too but that was the point
And soon you could have seen it was over
Oh, we carried him home in the light
And at dark we wait him in clover
And sent him to take his brown sweat
