    (continued from previous page)
    Fairwell Captain Johnston for shortly I will die
    To never a sportsman on earth would I yield,
    But to you Captain Johnston of sweet Killaneil.
    Chorus: With my hark tally-ho,
    With my hark tally-ho,
    Hark over, Hark over.
    With my hark tally-ho.
