- (continued from previous page)Stop! Stop! I got a wee bottle in the waist of my trousers. Some calls it this and some calls it that
I call it Eakey - Pokey - Peterim - Dokey - Peterim - Pane.
Take three snifs of James Mc Kane
Rise up, dead man, and fight again.If you don't believe me what I say
Enter in big head and he'll soon clear the way.
My head is big my body small
I do my best to please you all.If you don't believe me what I say
Enter in Jack Straw Striddle
Kiss the de'il's wife through the riddle
Through an old mill happer
Through the bag of pepper
Through an old woman's shin boneIf you don't believe me what I say
Enter in diveldont and he'll soon clear the way.
Money I want and money I crave
Some gives one pound and some gives none
And very few gives little or nothing
Afterwards a song."
