   She stuck her nose right in the mud and died for want of air.
   We n'eer can meet with one so fleet.
   As was the old Grey Mare.
   4.
   At first we thought it was Parnell that gave her such a freight.
   We could not see what caused it by the darkness of the night.
   At length we found it was the Ghost and that I do declare.
   Of Tolbard the informer who alarmed the old Grey Mare.
   5.
   We asked of him his business and he answered on the spot.
   He said he was sent to fetch us to a climate blazing hot.
   Old Nick he said instructed him of us to take great cake for he thought we all be drowned.
   As well as the old Grey Mare.
   6.
   Now he give us strong assurance that we no hurt or harm.
   That coal was there so plentiful we always keep quite warm.
