- Oh, you sickly lazy hairy divil, Brian Og
You, who used to be so civil Brian Og.
When I saw you look so donny [?]

Your sleek coat could tear to flitters Heather Breeze
Your rider watched you tremble
And laughed at you frequently.
As your neck he patted gently. 'Heather Breeze'

At my sides I felt him poking Brian Og
These jockeys how I hate them.
My limbs they cruelly beat them.
I thought he'd dislocate them Brian Og
