    (continued from previous page)
    To convey me that night to my home.
    But when passing a gap.
    Jack met a mishap and off on his head he was thrown
    Chorus
    A boat - - -
    IV
    Jack got up with an oath.
    Saying bad luck to the boat
    That did ne'er take you over the stream.
    But if you ne'er did return.
    Your loss I would not mourn
    For I would be home in Kiskeam
    Chorus
    A boat - - -
    V
    Between cursing and swearing and solemn declaring
    And limping he made for the door
    Next I saw Jack stretched out in his back
    Dead in a faint on the floor
