    The Goat.
    This district and its neighbourhood
    Are peaceful and most tranquil, O;
    There's no disturber here but you
    And may you soon be sent out, O.
    Your oath I don't regard a pin
    To sign my condemnation, O,
    My jury will be gentlemen
    And grant me my acquittal, O.
    Peeler.
    The consequence be what it will,
    A peeler's law you must fear, O;
    I'll hand-cuff you and stop your tongue
    And march you off to prison, O.
    You villian sure you can't deny,
    Before the judge and jury, O:
    Your're always armed and law defy
    And dangerous to the people, O.
