   V
   These cocks were brought to their statins'
   The 'Leitrims' proposed three to one
   They thought they could not be defeated
   Their cock, he so often times won
   "Thaws' he killed Murrays old Blinker
   And left the old 'Osterman' dead
   But he never was matched till he met
   With this sporting Kildallon Brown Red

   Statinis - corners as in boring
   'thaws' - because

   VI
   These cocks got into a 'buckle'
   Three times they came to the ground
   Till the Leitrim flew something the highest
   and knocked the Killdallomn "Bock" down,
   The Brown-red lay under a 'brainbrow'
   He lay for sometime on the ground,
   While the Brown Red was in confusion
   The Leitrim was just in his prime

   buckle - a clinch
   a brainbrow - stunned

   VII
   They were brought again to their station
   Like soldiers to fight for their bread
   But the Leitrim's lot was to die on the spur
   Of the sporting Kildallon Brown Red,
   Here's a toast to the sporting James Plunkett (winner of the Piley)
   That sent old Piley to bed.
   That never was matched till he met
   With our sporting Kildaoon Brown Red.
   John P. Fitz. narrated by Patrick Fitzpatrick
