    “Hurrah me boys (well'll) we'll have some fun ¶ To see the Gearies donkeys run...”

    I

    Hurrah my boys we'll have some fun
    To see the Gearies donkeys run
    Up the hill to Moula- Mill
    To vote for James Gilhooly.

    II
    The Whiddy boys were always brave
    And with the pen they wrote the same
    The spalpeens voted for Mr Payne
    And the poor men for James Gilhooly
    .
