Himself and Sean Sharkey began to truck
And lame Jimmey Mooney gave him a buck.
He went to Granard to buy some veal
And on his way home the ass began to fail
Such prodding and during you never did see
The neighbours all told him you will kill the donkey
When he went home he called for his stone-hammer
And I will kill him dead
Fox he is the worst donkey that ever was fed.
My sight it is failing and that is my my plan
To get from the tanner as much as I can send down for old charter.
Till he skins him one side
Old charter came there without any delay
Ordered Judy and Mary out of his way.
