    refer to Allen Hill in his manner
    On Patricks Eve in search of sport
    To Allen Hill I did resort
    Where it is true tradition says
    Huge giants dwelt in ancient days
    When night broke out upon the glade
    Of wandering ghosts I grew afraid
    To drown those fears I took a drop
    Down in Mr Healy's shop
    Then looking round I saw with ease
    A group of horsemen dressed in green
    And as they vanished fast away
    This is what I heard them say
    We will ride it oer from shore to shore
    Until our friends we do restore.
