  1. (continued from previous page)
    When he landed in Blackrock
    A rabbit he did kill
    And turning around (was) then he found
    The Seargent on the hill.
    4.
    "Stop, Stop young man" the Seargent cried
    What is your game " quote he
    What loss your at my gay old chap
    The Seargent he had been lazy
    And was not fit to run
    "Stand, Stand, young man" the Seargent cried
    "Stand and give up your gun"
    Come all you young men
    Beware that is for fun and sport
    Beware of Jack Phildy
    And the Seargent's bunty coat
