    Clinton's Goat ( Continued)

    I'm here today to say fair play
    And that upon my oath
    And as Clinton is a decent man
    We'll let him have the goat.

    "Ah now" Says Richard Gorman
    Yer talk is very fine
    If she didn't ate her cabbage, Mick
    she ate a lot of mine.
    11
    Myself and Mickeen Murray
    And Harry Redgriff's wife
    The way we're persecuted
    We're bound to take her life.
    12
    But now she's down in Faughalstown
    And having a splendid do
    And Nannie 'll be havin' a drop of milk
    If ever she takes the flu.
