- The nineteenth of June being the date of the year,
The brave Mutton Cutlet from Hugh Reilly disappeared.
From four in the evening till eleven that night,
Poor Hughey took the country in a terrible flight.He whistled, and he called but he got no response,
Then down to the barracks he rushed all at once,
He knocked on the door and he called out the guard
Saying the brave gallant greyhound was stolen from my yard.
III
The guards, they drove up in a fine motor car,
And they searched the townland from the grass to the tar,
They took in by the Yankees and down by the Bears,
And up to the Hackler's to see was it there.Composed by Bernard Rudden Drung.
Hugh Reilly Ardamagh, had a young greyhound it disappeared one evening and tale or tidings of it were never got. He notified the Gárda Redhills, but the search was fruitless.
