  1. Amhrán (continued)

    It was during Christmas despite the best of care

    (continued from previous page)
    They got Newcombe's ass and they tied up the load And as quick as the lightning they struck for the road. What they got for the hide was not a great amount
    And some of it still stands out on account.
    They went into Ned Nearys where they drank rings around.
    And very soon after Flynns nose met the ground.
    Late that evening Newcombe his ass had not found.
    Little he knew he was stuck in the pound.
    When he heard about the hide to search his ass he did not fail
    He paid one and six and pulled him out by the tail.
