  1. Songs - Peety Jack's Cat

    Share Share Post
    Peety Jack that never was slack
    And Brian Smith of Mudwallrow
    The trial day there was a play
    In Ballyduff you may depend
    T'would be worth ones while to go 10 miles
    To hear of those blades they did contend
    Peety said they lent a cat
    To Byrne for a week or so
    And told him for to send it back
    for that's the least that he should do
    No cat came back to peety Jack
    So up to Byrnes he did go
    And such a combat about a cat
    Was never seen in Mudwallrow
    Peety said its all not done he will
    make him dance another jig
    He will make him process for costs loss
