- (continued from previous page)I left home you see
And I am tired of travelling (says)
Says the turf man from Ardee.
III
Your cart is nearly worn friend
Your ass is very old
It must be forthy summers
Since that animal was foaled
He was yoked to a trap
In September forthy three
When he cantered for the midwive
Says the turf man from Ardee.
IIII
Now I must not abuse my ass
With this old haxel rod
For indeed I do not mind the day
That poor old Jack was shod
The hairness that is on his back
Was made by John McGee
And he's dead this four and forty years
Says the turf man from Ardee.
