    During the night I stayed up on his back
    When the day it was dawning he jumped from his corner
    And towards Castle Island he went in a crack.

    When he jumped the basin I fell in the foot path
    Away went my goat and I saw him no more

    Or away in the mountains in some place remote
    But whilst I am living Ive a story for telling
    Of my rambles thro' Kerry on the Dingle Puck Goat
