- "My name is Pat McDonnell and my age is 84
I'm loved and well respected by my friends and neighbours all;
Around sweet Stradone I'm well known;
Around Laragh and Grousehall."

"When I was young I danced and sung
And drank good whiskey too
A sheebing shop that sold a drop
Of the real old "mountain dew"

"The poteen still on every hill
The peelers had no call
On Patrick's Day I longed to stray,
For pleasure to Grousehall

Each busy tool of Castlerule,
He travels night and day,
He seizes a goat just by the throat and drags him around Grousehall.
There is no peace about the since he came to Grousehall.
