  1. (continued from previous page)
    none of your jaw,
    Snuff that up your nostrils said Master Mac Grath.
    Then the hare she went off just as quick as the wind,
    He was sometimes before her and sometimes behind,
    Rose gave the first turn according to law,
    But the second was given by Master Mac Grath.
    Then the hare she led on with a beautiful view,
    And as swift as the wind oer the green fields she flew,
    But he jumped on her back and he held up his paw,
    Three cheers for old Ireland and Master Mac Grath.
