Ye lads and gay lasses I claim your attention
Until I will tell you what happened to those
Who left Ballingeary on August the fifteenth
And went off to Baurlinn in search of a goat.
They travelled Cúm Ruadh and the south side of Máluinn
File a stuaicín and sweet Leacha Bán
The height of Mín Mórain (?) and the wild cliffs of Bárrlinn
And the never cried stop till they came to Bonán.

So when that they saw him they thought him most plásing
Says Carthy to Sheehan "go fasht in his throat
Cotter and Creedon they ran then most speedily
And soon in his horns they had a fine rope.
So when they had caught him for home then they started
No doubt they were dry when they came Guagán
They placed the Bould Ranger quite safe in a carhouse
And drank up a health to the Buck from Bonán(continues on next page) - Collector
