  1. Ormond's Horse (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    He was a faithful servant ;
    And obedient by his will ;
    He worked for Tommy Kennedy
    And likewise old 'Beardy Bill'
    He then went to old skinny bones
    Another of that stock,
    Where he was starved a doomed to death
    In hungry Ballyknock.
    So now my friends both great and small
    I hope you will draw nigh ,
    And give three loud and singing cheers
    For Hynes's servant boy .
    'Twas he composed this little song,
    That we might all deplore
    The tragic end of Ormond's horse
    That rambled from Loughmore
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
