- (continued from previous page)Names we wont mention for fear of contention
Afraid ye might think I was font of the law
Chorus
O when its true what did he do
Or why did you him ill slaughter
If you can at all dont eat em all
But send me home one quarterI reared him gay neighbours my garden to seed
And now it lies naked and covered with weeds
Now I am tired and the country I've searched
If he ever comes home faith i'll sell him in March- Collector
