This is a song about a man who was hunting away from his home and was captured.
I am a bold undaunted fox that never was before in thramp,
My rents rates and taxes I was willing for to pay
I built my den in prime good land between Tiperary and Athlone.
Where my forefathers lived Three hundred years or more

As soon as he evicted me I said it was full time to flee.(continues on next page)
