- (continued from previous page)In this miserable condition reduced to skin and bone
I met a travelling woman and to her I made my moan
She says if you take my advice and come along with me
I will bring you to a master who'll relieve your poverty
IV
We came across the country to we came to Meentagh glen
And at the foot of Bubiban 'twas there I met a friend.
Who gave us plenty of good diet and a warm fireside
May providence reward him and always be his guide
Now I'll settle here for life with John and James Barr,
May charity and barity be there guiding star
When he'll come back to Innishowen he'll have a story for to tell.
That he'll get as many Highland Collies as will hunt him into hell.
