    My curse upon your big grey lip
    A nd night and day may misfortune trip Your bending shanks wher'eer you go That your may always meet a foe
    I stood your friend your well aware
    When you had neither horse nor mare
    And when I'm dead ye cannot say
    You ever gave me oats or hay
    FWhat I got I can declare
    Was place to piy my scanty fare
    I surely got the stick or rod
    But never in my life was shod
    As everyone does understand
    You are the meanest man in all this land
    For let the night be rough or calm
    You never did forget the ram.
