   1) Each honest man if such there can be found around Grousehall
   Come join with me in sympathy, and pity my downfall.
   I am belief and stigmafied by tyranny and wrong,
   Both far and near my name you'll hear re - echoes in a song.
   (2)
   I am belief because I tried for to enforce the law.
   To keep the peace about the place both drunken bag's and all,
   So my protest may be expressed in language rather strong,
   I think I am bound for to confound the another of that song.
   (3)
   That heckling clown that does let down a tear with every smile,
   And all his days with perfect ease could act the crocodile,
   That busy drunk he plays his pranks on peelers all along,
   And now does aim to blast my fame by his wild rebel song.
   (4)
   The League it's true I did pursue, the priest why should I spare
   That broke the law, and was the cause of bloodshed everywhere,
   But Martin's fall in Donegal will be avenged e'er long,
   MacFadden's crew will get their due, and who will sing their song.
   (5)
   I do deny that ever I a naked female seen
   The gentle sex I'm sure they're vexed, they feel the insult keen,
   It was a shame to fin the flame all on me in the wrong.
   But while I live I can't forgive the man that made the song.

   In all my life to Tuylly's wife, I never spoke a word
