They ratted an’ they ranted, an’ the next thing they did find,
Was two young lovers in a lane, an’ these they left behind.
Look ye there!
One said that they were lovers, but another he said “Nay;
They’re two poor wandering lunatics: come, let us go away.”
Look ye there!
(Erin and John Morley.)
So they ratted an’ they ranted till, the setting of the sun,
And they’d naught to bring away at last when election time was done.
Look ye there!
