No penal law have I transgressed
My deed or combination, O!
I have no certain place of rest
House or habitation, O!
Descended from a noble race
Loved Bansha is my birthplace, O!
There I abide in perfect peace
Till you brought false charges, O!
Peeler
Your insolence, I will chastise
And violent behaviour, O!
Well bound to Queenstown you shall go
Where you shall gain no favour, O!
The magistrates will all consent
To sign your condemnation, O!
From thence to Cork you will be sent
For speedy transportation, O!
Goat
This district and its neighbourhood
Are peaceful and most tranquil, O!
There is 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!(continues on next page)
