    The Borrowed Donkey ( continued)
    5
    You battered him back, side and head
    So is told the story O
    Until you left his skin as red
    As any mucmagory O
    6
    The next court I'll surely face
    to Mullingar I'll journey O
    And there I'll quickly lodge my case
    With one of attorneys O.
    7
    I'll have six witnesses called up
    To prove the truth of the story O
    And then my bays i'll make you hop
    You made my ass so gory O.
    Composed by James Smith, Ringtown
