I am a bold undaunted fox that never yet was trapped or caught[00:00:00]
My rent rates and taxes I was willing for to pay[00:00:07]
I made me name on fine good land between Tipperary and Knocklong[00:00:13]
Where my fore fathers lived and died 2000 years ago[00:00:19]
I lived as happy as King Saul and loved my neighbours one and all[00:00:25]
I had no animosity for either friend or foe[00:00:31]
Until I was of late betrayed by one who was a bailiff[00:00:37]
He told me I should leave the place and show my face no more[00:00:44]
The day that he evicted me 'tis then I knew that I should flee[00:00:49]
Late one night I tracked him down and left him lying low [00:00:56]
He fell victim to a shot - his agency was soon forgot[00:01:02]
From that day on they're searching for Farmer Michael Hayes[00:01:09]
Soon there was a great lookout by land and sea myself to rout[00:01:14]
From Dublin Quay to Belfast along the raging sea[00:01:21]
By telegraph they did insert a great reward for my arrest[00:01:27]
My figure size and form and my name without mistake[00:01:33]
They broke their brogues took an this great reward to obtain[00:01:42]
But they would never cabuqiu find Michael Hayes[00:01:48]
Around the coast they made a steer from Poolbeg Lighthouse to Cape Clear[00:01:54]
Killarney Town and Sweet Tralee they then crossed into Clare [00:02:00]
When they landed on the shore they searched Kilrush from tip to toe[00:02:08]
They searched the baths at sweet Lisdoon likewise Miltown-Malbay[00:02:15]
They pass broke cantu aqiu and denetn had make up[00:02:20]
Still their search was all in vain for I showed them all my tail [00:02:27]
They searched the train at Oranmore as it was leaving for Athlone[00:02:33]
Every wagon car and coach they met along the road[00:02:39]
Connemara being remote they thought twas there I might resort[00:02:45]
But still they were at nothing I gave them all leg bail [00:02:52]
In Swinford Town as I lay down I heard the dreadful cry of hounds[00:03:00]
Which me set off for Charlestown through Knock and Castlebar[00:03:06]
Passing Hagfield I called in and had a drink with Joe O'Broin[00:03:12]
Which filled my heart with strength and speed whilst the hounds were getting slow[00:03:15]
And as the moon began to shine I thought I'd make a foreign clime[00:03:46]
