  1. (continued from previous page)
    who thought to raise his pay
    He boldly slipped out the ring and Murphy was his name
    But he was beaten like a dog until his blood ran shrill
    He may thank our noble clergymen
    or he would die on Barnane Hill
    IV
    Old George Jones he was their leader of whom you all know well
    I hope he will be rewarded when he meets his friends in hell
    But he must wait for his reward until it is God's will
    And it is then I'm sure he will repent
    For that day on Barnane Hill."
