   :Local Songs:

   I

   It being in October eighteen hundred and sixty three
   We had some recreation in our own country.
   We had some recreation and I hear the people say
   We hunted from Newtown near on to Lisnashea
   Fol the de, de, to my right fol the de.

   II

   We hunted round the country not a man was to say ill.
   Until one rascal Donegan came out our dogs to kill
   The father he came out with the gun in his hand.
   And he swore that he would shoot our dogs.
   If we would not clear off the land.
   Fol the de, de, to my right fol the de.

   III

   His five sons came out and that with out fail
   One of them had a pitch fork the other had a flail
   Say "Father, dear Father will will soon let them know
   Its off our land they quickly must go.
   Fol the de, de, to y right fol the de.

   IV

   Up stepped a bold undaunted youth and hit him in the ear.
   If you were to hear how loudly our sportsmen they did cheer
   If you had been there you'd have laughed at the fun
   To see how quickly the thrashing it begun.
