    (continued from previous page)
    He got a dreadful knock
    In Drumlish town of high renown
    Near to the Custom Gap
    But when the news it went to bell
    That Morrison was dead
    The master devil to his imps
    Those words he quickly said
    Lucifer gave orders to clear up the hearth
    We will stick him in the Corner
    Between Moorhead and Kincort
    So get ready now my brave boys
    And don't be thunderstruck
    But always pray both night and night
    For the boys of Ballinamuck
