    (continued from previous page)
    A Buck before a landlord,
    And he argueing out the law,
    He says my Lord Im comeing,
    To give you one advice,
    Give your tenant back the land
    Or else you have your choice,
    For I'm the boy will train you up,
    To dance a jig or reel,
    So prepare my boy for action
    And your jacket must be steel,
    For if you dont give back the land
    I will prove your downfall,
    For I'll give you what Lord Leitrim gave
    Below in Donegal.
