   2nd Verse
   'Tis early we'll rise up next morning
   To Bennetts we'll go to Stagdale
   How gaily we'll wind our shillelahs
   When facing John Bolton's demense
   Tom Franks we will throw out the backdoor
   And we'll all dine in sweet Castlejane
   Chorus
   3rd Verse

   Of Palatines I'll say no more
   But the next will be Townsend and Lowe
   We'll make a shortcut to Knocktoran
   And towards Gradys of Kilballyowen.
   We'll have them to clean out our stables
   Our horses for to regulate
   Thin platter we'll give them on Friday
   With sour buttermilk for a trate
   Chorus
   4th
   So now as the hanging is over
   To the Minister's door we will call
   We'll give him no time to be preaching
   But make him clear out of the Hall
   For all the past time he has spent reading
   I'm sure he is tired and fatigued
