- Farmers one and all
When you are in a hurry
Don't hesitate at all
But hire old "Mullacurry"
Your potatoes he will plant
His dogs will herd the cattle
He'll do anything you say
If you keep him in good fettle.Chorus
"Farmers to "Mullacurry"His shoulders they are broad
His limbs are in porportion
He can carry heavy loads
Like a ship across the ocean
He is the boy can drink the glass
Of Whiskey, ale, or porter
And when he meets the lass
He is the boy can court her.
