   iii.
   When "Whisker" Kelly heard the noise, on mule back he then rode,
   To inform the Policemen he went by Albert Road
   He frightened "Lonesome Johnny" as in slumber he then lay
   When he told him the pound was broken down
   And the cattle stolen away.

   iv.
   And poor Lonesome Johnny got such an awful fright
   He "awoke" all the bobbies, just at the dead of night
   And told them they should travel until they searched Moveen.
   And find all the cattle that were stolen from Bob Greene.

   v.
   All those cursed blood-hounds, they met up in Moveen.
   They searched from Batty's Mountain right back into Goleen
   But they were not successful as they rode on bike
   They didn't find the cattle or Mykie O'Dea's "Klondike"

   vi.
   But some of those cattle were found again
   which grieves me to relate
   By Hogan the policeman the dirty "lick-the-plate"
   But never let him show his face again
   To the free hills of Moveen
   For "Kruger" with his rifle
   Will blow him from the "Queen"

   "Lonesome Johnny" was the local R.I.C. Sergeant
