- (continued from previous page)I felled poor piggy to the ground
And struck her in the mud.
She gave a spring and I poor thing.
Fell headlong in the blood.
Away she went with Bob and Matt
And Lizzy Dunn behind.
When I got clean I ran up here.
My darling for to find.

She must have taken the road
I missed her by the turn.
Now who can say perhaps she may.
Be drowning in the burn.
Come on my man and look for her.
She can't be far away.
Dry up your tears for later years
You don't look very gay.
VI
Great Loord Almighty shouted Bob.
As he reached for a twig.
Come out my man and lend a hand.
To save a drowning pig?
When Lizzie saw her Andy
She gave a shout for joy
God save us all in Donegal
Here comes my butcher boy.(continues on next page)
