Kill old Wallaby Jack, kill him dead-fellow;

If he eat fish poison him with it;

If he go near water drown him with it;

If he eat kangaroo choke him with it;

If he eat emu poison him with it;

If he go near fire burn him with it;

Kill old Wallaby Jack, kill him dead-fellow quick.

Then some evening, after it has grown dark, he will creep quietly up to the man whom he wants to injure and secretly point the bone at him. The magic will, he believes, pass at once from the bone to his victim, who soon afterwards will without any apparent cause sicken and die unless some bullya, or medicine man, can remove the curse. The bone is then taken away and hidden, for should it be found out that he had "pointed" it he would be killed at once.
