- Davy Power is in law with his neighbours
That same is not a bad plan,
He's gone to the devil be jabers
And what hill become of that man.He was once a man of great honour,
He would spend a pound in an hour
And now he is going by the ditches
Misfortune overtook Davy Power.He summoned Owen Foley's blind lamb
He summoned Lord Graddy's dead goose
He would summon yourself seere a leanb
If he thought it would be any useHe Brough up a madam from Dublin
To comfort his bones it is paid
But I do not know put from Adam
What good is that creature in bed
I would rather sleep with a ladder,
I'd rather embrace an old plough,
I'm sure I'd be dying if I had her,
Or at least I'd be dying anymore.For she's as bare as the devil could make her.
And her bones would cute meat like a knife
(This Version is not complete author unknown)Hurrah for the relic of honour
And that is a Caroline hot
I don't know how much he gave for it
Or either how long it will last.- Informant
