<br />
In Glenravel’s Glen there lives a man whom some would call a god<br />
<br />
For he could cure your shakes with a bottle of his stuff would cost you thirty bob<br />
<br />
Come winter, summer, frost all over, a jiggin’ Spring on the breeze<br />
<br />
In the dead of night a man steps by, “McIlhatton, if you please”<br />
<br />
=== Chorus ===<br />
McIlhatton you blurt we need you, cry a million shaking men<br />
<br />
Where are your sacks of barley, will your likes be seen again?<br />
<br />
Heres a jig to the man and a reel to the drop and a swing to the girl he loves<br />
<br />
May your fiddle play and poitín cure your company up above<br />
<br />
<br />
Theres a wisp of smoke to the south of the Glen and the poitín is on the air<br />
<br />
The birds in the burrows and the rabbits in the sky and there’s drunkards everywhere<br />
<br />
At Skerries Rock the fox is out and begod he’s chasing the hounds<br />
<br />
And the only thing in decent shape is buried beneath the ground<br />
<br />
=== Chorus ===<br />
<br />
<br />
At McIlhatton’s house the fairies are out and dancing on the hobs<br />
<br />
The goat’s collapsed and the dog has run away and there’s salmon down the bogs<br />
<br />
He has a million gallons of wash and the peelers are on the Glen<br />
<br />
But they’ll never catch that hackler cos he’s not comin’ home again<br />
<br />
=== Chorus ===<br />
