    Pontius Pilate had a horse
    That was black, blue and grey.
    And an ugly one, too,
    The Scripture does say.
    He never got a match
    While a horse was to be had
    'Till there came an ugly peeler to the town of Ballinafad.

    I was summoned to the Court
    On Wednesday to appear
    Before Taafe, the attorney
    And J. Ps that were there.
    They fined me but a shilling
    They couldn't speak of jail
    Because I kept a donkey that used to wag his tail.
