    Dan Brady's Dappled Mule.
    He's gone the king of handcuffed kings,
    As yet no lock or bolt was ever forged
    Could resist the cunning of this colt,
    Just let him spy the think he liked,
    He'd ask no other tool
    But wag his tail
    Then gate or door opened wide to Brady's Mule
    Dan Brady's Mule.
    Dan Brady's Mule.
    To far famed ballinagh
    You will never draw your old jahuBob with a hearty laugh,
    You feed the hungry clothe nude
    The children going to school
    When asked this question of their pals
    Where's Brady's Dappled Mule.
    Head Smyth will miss him sadly
    For his wish to be a poet
    Led him to study quadrupeds from a brood mare to a goat
    He'd tear his copy, and bite his nails
    Then shift his office stool,
    Until at last he found his theme
    Dan Brady's Dappled Mule.
    Dan Brady's Mule.
