W:Some verses set to this tune:
W:1. When I was at home I was merry and frisky,
W: My dad kept a pig and my mother sold whiskey.
W:
W:2. O'Reely is dead and O'Reilly don't know it
W: O'Reilly is dead and O'Reely don't know it
W: They're both lying dead in the very same bed
W: And neither one knows that the other one's dead.
