  1. (continued from previous page)
    Away went the goat and I saw him no more
    I suppose he's gone back to where he belongs to
    Or perhaps he may steer to some farther off shore
    XIV
    If he's in Ireland its in Campor or Brandon
    Or away in the hill tops in somewhere remote
    But while I'm living I've a story for telling
    My rambles through Kerry and the Dingle puck goat
