The Gintleman From Kildare. Copyright, 1879, by E. H. Harding. Words and Music by J. P, Skelly. 
Six months ago I landed here, for pleasure I kem over, I've travelled all the continent, in fact, I'm quite a rover; They put me among the emigrants, ten days they left me there, With indignity they treated me, a gintleman from Kildare. 
Chorus. I'm a gintleman from Kildare, And my name is Dennis O'Hare; I'm a swell of the day, and I dress very gay, I'm a gintleman from Kildare. 
When up Broadway I gently strolled to view the glorious city, A stranger took me by the arm and laughed and joked so witty; He took me in and called for wine, of course I did not care, But he ran away with the watch and chain of the gintleman from Kildare.-Cho 
To Coney Isle I often go to have a day of pleasure, The girls on me their smiles bestow, they think me quite a treasure; I carry a cane and twirl it 'round with a gay and jaunty air. And they all admire the faultless attire of the gintleman from Kildare.-Cho. 
Now I'm going into politics and swell my reputation, I want to be a Congressman and lead a delegation; I'll be a good friend to all the boys, they'll always find me square, So let all turn out and loudly shout for the gintleman from Kildare.-Chorus.
