   And if you want game on the wild Tulcon bog,
   A man can get grouse with a gun and a dog.
   Fat pheasants and rabbits are there by the score,
   And woodcock and snipe, duck and wigeon go leór.

   But let me remind you to go very slow.
   The game is preserved, and I'd have you to know
   That safety is first, so keep out of the way
   Of those gamekeeping experts, Matt Cashin and Grey.

   Mr Hardy's in charge of this grand old estate,
   And working the property early and late,
   The ploughing produces great crops by the ton,
   And when one lot's out, sure another's begun.

   The herds of fine cattle and wonderful calves
   Show work is done thoroughly, never by halves.
   And so we must give him well merited praise
   For a concrete example that good farming pays.

   Mulvanerty lives at the end of the wood.
   And Kane at the other end keeps to the good.
   Mick Winter and Carroll and Reynolds and Reid
   Are excellent company, all are agreed.

   Pat martin takes charge of the work in the yard
   He's always quite busy and working real hard
