Hattie and Andy Palmer. Anderson County, Ky.

Paddy won't you drink some,
Paddy won't you drink some,
Paddy won't you drink some good ole cider.

Had a little cider last night
A little night before, sir,
Going out tomorrow night to get a little more, sir.

You be the horse,
And I'll be the rider,
Going to Paddy Watson's to get a little cider. ... [Riley Puckett & Clayton McMichen, 1929]
