- Im a roving hackler lad that loves this shamrock shore
My name is Pat McDonald & my age is eighty four
Beloved & well respected by friend & neighbours all
Round sweet Stradone I am well known round Larah & Grousehall
When I was young I danced & sung & drank good whiskey too
Each sheebeen shop wheres sold a drop of the real old mountain dew
The poteen still on every hill the peelers had no call
on St Pat's day I loved to stray for
pleasure to Grousehall.I rambled round from town to town
for hackling was my trade
None can deny or think that I am an
honest living blade
For where I stay the neighbours they
are sure to give a call
To have some crack with Paddy Jack
the Hackler from Grousehall(continues on next page)- Collector
