    “Perhaps you'd like to know Says the Sean Bhean Bhocht...”

    "Will we see him anymore?"
    Says the Sean Bhean Bhocht
    For I'm afraid he's swore
    Says the Sean Bhean Bhocht
    When he reached the castle steps
    He scaled them of three leaps
    Says the Sean Bhean Bhocht
    Lord Wadehouse went to spend
    Says the Sean Bhean Bhocht
    Some bright days with a friend
    Says the Sean Bhean Bhocht
    'Twas there he heard the news
    Said he "You'll excuse
    For I must homeward cruise"
    Says the Sean Bhean Bhocht
    His council kindly [?]
    Says the Sean Bhean Bhocht
    To see him face a fight
    Says the Sean Bhean Bhocht
    Said they will give to any man
    10,000 speck and span
    For to catch him, if you can
    Says the Sean Bhean Bhocht
