   The pay that I got was outside the dure
   Says I to myself "I'll go down to Redmoor.
   II
   An' I trampin along as you may understand
   I passed by a forge it was on the left hand.
   He didn't came out his head and his face
   As round as a mast.
   There were teeth in his head like a brogue maker's last.
   He whistled and shouted and called me by name.
   Says I to myself I'll put up more steam.
   No hell-hound or "baygil" would ketch me I' sure
   I stopped to get win on the bridge of Redmoor
