    Leckee boys, boys, are very fond of fun
    But when they want for anything to burley they will run
    They went astray through braggagh and they were out till dawn
    They couldn't give oe'r laughing about the boys of Askilawn
    Next night they were going to a dance
    They killed Slasher's big sow pig
    They sent for butcher Flanagan
    And they hung her from the ground
    They sold her to the Shanwar's for seven pence a pound
    Next night they went to Jack Knore's
    And they asked a bit for God's sake
    They give them a bit of Cusack's bullock
    That got drowned in the lake
    Thug mo mháthair Úna bean Ní Gallchobhair an dán seo dom.
