    Tom Traynor killed a calf.
    Richard Plunkett got the half
    James Clarke got the tail,
    To make a suple for his flail,
    Pat Lynch got the head to make a pillow for his bed.
    Johnnie Levengton got the hide,
    To make a blankett for his bride.
    Michael Carolan got the clutes to make uppers for his boots
    Jem Sheanon got the ears to make tops for his peirs.
    No 2. Aunty Judy going to town,
    Riding on a pony
    Stuck a feather in her hat.
    And called for Jenny McRoney.
    No 3. Tom Thumb the pipers son,
    Stole a pig and away he ran.
    The pig was eaten,
    Tom was beaten, then he went howling down the street.
