- (continued from previous page)Ah, hold your tongue, they all died out.
Yes, cut the grabber's hay.
V
So now to conclude and finish up.
I own I did it mane,
I darent pass the Crooked Bridge, I
went round to Connickslane;
Ould Father Adam met me and my mare,
And then to me did say,
Oh, Dan my son, you did it wrong
You, shook the Grabber;s hay.
VI
I am now in sad misfortune, I
dont know what to do,
For Jane she's grazing round the rocks
without a single shoe.
But sure she does not want them,
For she's off the road they say,
And I don't know what came over
me, sin Mac Mahon cut his hay.
