   In letters of silver and gold.
   This "buachaill" will stand at my stables.
   An Aberdeen Angus is he.
   He was bred by the Dairy Society
   And crossed by the Rose of Tralee

   My station is well situated
   Meenoline being a fitting aboe.
   And long distant clients will be treated.
   By a two-seater out to the road.
   The greatest of care will be taken
   But responsible I will not be
   My clients will have every attention,
   And hatching advice I'll give free.

   Now come at once to my station.
   And be there e'er the rush will commence.
   And take to your friends and your homesteads
   The celebrated breed of my hens.
   There will be no second word to the bargain
   But credit for the season I'll give.
   Since Dev. soared high with the tarriffs
   Tis hard for poor devils to live.
