    (continued from previous page)
    Down to Knockamany
    You wouldn't find any
    That was off the same fame
    From Glacknabrad to the seas of Glengad
    There is not to be had
    One of the same game
    IV
    To help my wee store
    I was forced to the shore
    Oh! May I deplore the results of that day
    My very next neighbour
    Did quickly invade her
    And beastly betrayed her, while I was away.
    V
    The woman who stole her
    The man couldn't thole her
    To roast her, or boil her
    On Friday alone
    So this being prevented
    That deed she repented
    That night they consented
    To leave her at home.
