    Peelers then, like beagle hounds,
    Full soon, the bay did surround.
    The devils all, great and small
    Then made a horrid bound.
    They dragged the viper tall
    Like a bullock to a stall.
    Devils ate him, rump and stump,
    Below in old Donegal.
    † Gratloe Wood is given in other song.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
