    And spoke unto the Jane
    The Jane being very crusty
    She first faced for the ditch
    And she drew a wheel for Farrel's field
    And gave the cart a pitch
    VI
    She sent the load a spinning
    Breaking the leading cord
    Opening a box of linen and
    Breaking the front board

    To drive the mule he swore
    A wrapper and a pair of drawers
    Dropped at Curran's door

    Took place on Gilpin's brae
    When Murphy stepped unto his mate
    And this to him did say

    And keep straight upon the road
    Or if the Jane She'd chance to start
    You are sure to lose your load
