   There is big long Tom did act the gom and proudly made the hay.
   But a pound of it they will not buy from Cross to Ballybay.
   The haymakers too the day will rue, the assizes they will see.
   They will answer for poor Curley's leg, they won't get easy free.

   Three cheers for Father Goughan who did assemble there.
   And also Father Maguire who preceded to the chair.
