   That faithfully served him for twenty-five year
   Glad to meet with John Byrne who cheerfully bought her
   At a rasonable price though not very dear.
   5). The bargain was made and the money was paid
   As a matter of course John was handed the luck,
   To a tavern they went where a trifle they spent
   And Johnny, the mare from the owner he took.

   Had rested for years on the old garron's back
   And he mounted her quick drew a lump of a stick
   Saying 'hee up' Mary Anne as he hit her a whack.
   7). Through the streets she went prancing & at other times dancing
   Till a whole band of lads gathered round by her side
   Saying Hallo Mr. So & So and who let you up
   Or plaze will you get down just to see how you ride.
   8). They kept up the jeer till the mare lost her temper
   And suddenly swerved at the end of the street
   And to the delight of the merry bystanders
