    Den'o Den'o
    Before he could reach to his Den'o, Den'o, Den'o
    Mrs Stepper Slapper popped out of bed
    And out through the window,
    She pokes out her head,
    Saying John, John the grey goose is gone
    The fox has him of to his Deno, Deno, Den'o,
    The fox has him of to his Deno Deno Den'o

    You Boys of the city give ear to yout dity
    A few simple verces, I' am going to pen down
    Concerning what I heard of late the other evening,
    I was just about coming out from the town
    In crossing the moor, I spied an old woman
    She sat on the gap and she milking the cow
    And the song she song was the Boheleen Donn
    Or some other dity I cannot tell now.
