   It would break O Rourke of Inniskeen
   that dame thing for to fill
   MaCullagh Jones and Turner
   the own a whole towland
   Their farms are fairly flourishing
   and their homes steads are so grand
   Perhaps you think they're rich
   But you may understand
   Big Turner would drink as much in a week
   as would flood a whole townland
   In Tatterea the people are queer with
   their ricks and whinny fields
   There is Rogers and McCullagh
   beside the thirteen Shields.
   And little trick McCullagh who is
   looking for a wife
   To share his wealth and riches his boss left him for life.
   Now we call to Red Bob Hall to hear
   his wireless set
   This wonderful invention it would
   surely make you sweat.
   He has up a pole, and by my soul
   the moon can hardly pass.
   For he can hardly hear the people pray
   On Sunday in Corglass.
