Barney Cunningham was dancing with all his might, while Pat O'Leary
was playing Paddy Carey on his Jews Harp, and Jemmy Callahan sitting
quietly looking on, smoking his pipe on the head of an empty whiskey
barrel. All of a sudden the Divil got into Pat, who changed the tune
to Molly put the kettle on, which, as it were, brought Barney up all
standing, and caused him to bite his tongue almost through. Upon this,
Barney, without saying a word, quietly marches up to Pat and gives him
a black eye, and upon that Pat appeals to Jemmy Callahan whether this
was not offending against good manners. Whereupon Jemmy decides, that
Pat had no right to change the tune without giving the gentleman
notice, and so the matter was settled to the satisfaction of all
parties.
