One shout was all you ever got from Brady of Killan.I rose up all excited I heard a fearful row
And looking out through the window
I saw something like a sow.
Get a bucket and some water and hurry up my man.

The fleas they made a wild attack my kidneys to hold
I screeched out milemurder my hide they tried to tan.
