- (continued from previous page)I soon will leave them all behind & its ho ro Jack Franey
It was two oclock when he quitted Naas he gave the spurs & wet the pace
So he said I give yous warning
Yous may raise the country far & near from Mizen Head unto Cape Clear,
The devil a one of yours all dod I fear, Ill be far away agin morning.
On he went until clear daylight they all looked at him in wonder & fright
While Jack sat in his saddle tight although he was tired & weary.
When I the long hill shall becast it is there I will be a welcome guest
And the black horse will have a rest cried bold John Franey
