    From Ballintubber to Glavins clover,
    Athough you are tired you must be quick,
    Tom Clancys duffy,
    Bob Airey's duffy
    Mick Dwyer and dandy dick.
    To Kilymiff I will send you and the devil mend you
    For I got the tip from friend big Seán,
    Unless he is a liar you will have Jim Maguire,
    Mick Dwyer and John Marnane.
    Now Dinny Hogan must stop his mogan
    The best day his dog ever ran
    I bet my breeches for her to Fitzes,
    That you wouldn't take a turn out of May Anne.
    Now David Barry he came to carry,
    A big brown hare from Careys height,
    If you will jail him I would go bail him
    He should have got it if right was right
