An Poc Ar BuileThe Mad Puck GoatCurfa:
Aillilliú, Aillilliú, Aillilliú,
tá an poc ar buile,
Aillilliú, puillilliú, Aillilliú,
tá an poc ar buile,Chorus:
Aillilliú, Aillilliú, Aillilliú,
tá an poc ar buile,
Aillilliú, puillilliú, Aillilliú,
tá an poc ar buile,Ar mo dhul dom siar chun
Droichead Uí Mhórdhal,
Pice im dhóid is mé ag dul I meitheal
Cé chasfail orm i gcumar ceoidh
curfa As I set out with pick in hand
To old Dromore to join a meitheal,
Who should I meet but a tan puck goat
And he roaring mad in ferocious mettle
chorusDo ritheamar trasna trí tuilleagach
Is do ghluais an comhrac ar fud na muinge,
Is treascairt dá bhfuair se sna turtóga,
Chuas ina ainneaoin ar a dhroim le fuinneamh
curfaHe chased me over bush and weed
And through the bog the run proceeded,
'Til he caught his horns in a clump of gorse
And on his back I jumped unheeded
chorus
Níor fhág sé carraig go raigh scót ann
Ná gur rith le fórsa chun mé a mhilleadh,
Is ea ansan do chaith sé an léim ba mhó
Le fána mór na Faille Brice
curfaThere was ne'er a rock with no passage through
Which he didn't jump, and me like Eddie Macken*,
But when he leaped clean down Fiall Breach
I felt like a load of old wet sacking
chorusBhí garda mór i MBaile an Róistigh
Is bhailigh fórsaí chun sinn a chlipeadh,
Do bhuail sé rop dá adhairc sa tóin air
Is dá bhristi nua do dhein se giobail
curfaWhne the sergeant stood in Rochestown
With a force of guards to apprehend us,
The goat he tore his trousers down
And made rags of his breeches and new suspenders
chorusI nDaingean uí Chúise le haghaidh an tráthnóna
Bhí an sagart paróiste amach inár gcoinnibh,
Is é dúirt gurbh é an diabhal badhóigh leis
A ghaibh an treo ar phócan buile
curfaIn Dingle the following afternoon
The parish priest came to call us to order,
And he swore from the pupit each Sunday in June
'Twas the devil on the back of his old grandfather
chorus
