v11
When arrived at Cherrymount, who should come out,
But "wee John" a-shouting and jumping about.
Hurry up, Francis, I beg and do look alive,
We have to be across ere a quarter to five.
v111
Arrived at the border, there was fearful disorder,
"Tommy the boy" back home he set sail,
"Alfie o'Neill" was the man of the day,
For he whistled the dead march as "boy" marched away.
1x
We are doing away with the big bullocks now,
Instead we'll be having the horse and the plough,
We'll finish now with the grand old fable,
The land for the people, the cattle the stable.
