    At least you will allow
    If that you do but know me now
    He took a look at Bob
    And then he said fear not this mob
    For here your cause I'll rightafy
    At any cost was I to die
    The horse he grappled by the head
    While the intrude quickly fled
    And Ferguson was marched up and down
    In Triumph through the town
    Killheeney brought him home that night
    To all his neighbours great delight
    With flowing bowls on every side
    And Ferguson he did repeat#
    Im proud I lived in ninty eight
    Im glad Killheeny did not die
    So now I'll bid you all good-bye.
