To resign to such a cowardly dog
It's a thing I never will do
For I will fight with all my might
said bold Jack Donohoe.
I range these woods and valleys
Like a wolf for kangaroo
Before I fight for Government
said bold Jack Donohoe.

Nine rounds the horse policeman fired
until a deadly ball
lodged in the heart of Donohoe
which caused him to fall.
As he closed his mournful eyes
to this world he bid adieu
saying Christians all both big and small
pray for Jack Donohoe.
