    Till it met the jolly tinker
    With the budget on his back.

    And when the breeches was amissing
    The news went east the news went west
    The news went every where
    A man on horse and saddle
    Through the town of Ballisodare
    Three police from every barrack
    With their guns and knapsack
    "Did you meet the jolly tinker
    With the budget on his back."
