    Long life to Captain Walker and long may he reign
    To conduct the mines in Ireland till we have a race again
    To split the rock asunder till our treasures it is found
    And pick up all the silver lead that lies underneath the ground.

    Captain Walker owned the lead mines in Coolartra.
