    The red mouth judges being bribed.
    By Mr. Davis down from Elphin
    Said his jockey for riding falsely
    Should loose the prize or go out again
    To show them plainly he was well able

    Which sailed a blemish on Mr. Davis
    And sent him crying home to Elphin
    Now proud Roscommon may boast no longer
    I defy Roscommon may boast no longer.
