  1. (continued from previous page)
    But at Inchigeila they suffered severely
    Got no intertainment but plenty bad-talk
    While the ballplayers had plenty
    Their tables were bending with brandy and
    While more smoked cigars
    When home they were coming
    The tunes they were humming
    Were perfectly stunning and gone out of air
    Some played Shean O'Farrel while more of them rattled
    At something not far from the Rambler at Clare
    They met Johnie Howard some where down there near Bransfield
    He asked them the cause of their hasty retreat
    They said they were running from the Bobbies
    The band they disolved they are below in the street.
