   You all know the time that they used to be driving
   The cows and the pigs for the tithes I am sure
   When many the poor man had to see with sorrow
   His one little pig drove away from his door.
   O that was the time of ruination and sorrow
   When people had to give the one tenth of their share
   To keep up the churches that they did not attend at
   And stuff the old Parsons with the height of good fare.
   Well faix sure the drivers came over to Ullard
   To look for their plunder one fine Summer's day
   And as there was no one at home but the women
   The men as it happened to be, were away
   Come, now is our time said one feeble old woman
   Come, now is our time she says for us to go
   And try if St Fiacrac will stand to his promise
   He made to the old people long, long ago.
   He said to them all at the time he was dying
   Come down to my well when I am under the sod
