   to Grousehall.

   His raid on dogs it surely flogs its shockin to behold
   How he'll full up, a six month's pup and swear him two years old.
   Outside of hell there's no par'lell or match for him at all.
   Such a vile pimp and devils imp is Jimmy from Grousehall.

   Thank God the day's not far away when home rule will be seen,
   And Parnell at home may dwell and shine in College Green.
   Our peelers then 'ill be made a nations choice and al.
   And Balfour's pack 'ill get the sack and Mullervy from Grousehall.

   Let old and young clear up their lungs and sing this little song
   And join with me and let them see we'll 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 at Grousehall.
