- There's going to be a raffle on for Jem Berrills splendid ass
Come please sir take a ticket and do not let a good thing pass
For you'll travel the whole country from the Thebras to Foxhall
And you'll not find such an ass as Jem Berrills ass Snowball.
With saddle on his travels four minutes to the mile
And if you could get on his back it would be worth your while.
With arched neck and head bent back he would take a six foot wall
Foremost in the hunting field Jem Berrills ass Snowball.
When coming home from Drogheda it was terrefic pace
They rode out like wild people the Jarvey's one and all
To see Jem Berrills pass the post and he holding back Snowball.- Collector
