  1. (continued from previous page)
    Old Grant goes up to Aill na Dornáin,
    And there he gathers the sheep in a lump,
    But surely if I was there to watch him,
    Upon his carcass I would would surely jump,
    He brings them out by Criogán a mbucaillí,
    And from that to Bearna Mong,
    I often told Tommy Brown to shoot hm,
    But for his wife gave the police the gun,
    Then he comes down by the little river
    And on from that to Bregganbane
    James Tierney, he comes out before him
    Saying thats the point where are you going.
