  1. (continued from previous page)
    How he'll pull up a six mounth's pup
    and swear he's a two year old
    Out side of hell a parallel
    cannot be found for him at all
    For That vile pimp and devils imp
    The ruler of Grousehall
    x1
    Thank God the day isn't far away
    when homerule will be seen
    And brave Parnell at home will dwell
    and shine in College Green
    Our policemen will all be there
    our nation choice and all
    Old Balfour's pack will get the sack
    and banished from Grousehall
    v11
    Let old and young clear up their lungs
    and sing this little song
    Come join with me and let them see
    you all resent the wrong
    And while I live I'll always give
    a prayer for his downfall
    And when I die I don't deny
    I'll haunt him from Grousehall.
