   While Fanning anger into flame,
   They saw how Sherry Blue
   And put the Carr before the horse.
   We would have Dunne it too.

   We have a Hill down in the vale,
   May go and Cull the rose
   And Stewart and Moynes down in the drains,
   Where Allen Waters flow.

   The Laird o' Lynn over Cregg and Glynn
   Their Ward they would entice,
   Then who'd expect the widow Knott
   To take a better Price

   If Misset hits to Tyghe Miss Fitz
   A Lester for your frowns
   On the High Street of Drumshambo
   We have many up and Downes.
