Now Pat Ahearne of Ingleburn	A
Upon the Castlereagh	B
Was flush of cash and very flash	C
As shearer persons say	D
At Yankee grab his luck was cool	E
At loo he'd lately scooped the pool	E
He'd simply smashed the two up school	E
Assisted by a grey	D
	-
And Pat grew then like other men	A
His head began to swell	F
As he was fly he thought he'd try	G
The Sydney folks as well	F
Their chances would be mighty slim	H
Of working any points on him	H
When Euchre Bill and Ginger Jim	H
Had found he was a sell	F
	-
But bushmen's games are not the games	I
That Sydney spielers play	D
A country smarty's just their dart	J
The city sharpers say	D
And Patrick he was taken down	A
For all he had but half a crown	A
Before he'd been in Sydney town	A
For more than half a day	D
	-
'Twas well for Pat the shearer that	K
He'd had the sense to pay	D
His fare's return to Ingleburn	A
Before he went away	D
It's not what you could call a joke	L
To find yourself completely broke	L
But Patrick had a splendid stroke	L
In store for Castlereagh	B
	-
He found a shop an oyster shop	M
Where lobster crab and cray	D
Were all alive and seemed to thrive	B
And purchased straight away	D
Some crayfish and some lobsters too	N
Such things are cheap in Woolloomooloo	D
And caught the Western mail that flew	D
Towards the Castlereagh	B
	-
The train was crowded which allowed	O
No sleeping on the trip	P
Pat had a flask and thought to ask	Q
The men to take a nip	P
Just then a lobster chanced to find	R
The bag unclosed and feeling kind	R
It gave a man a nip but mind	R
It was not on the trip	P
	-
And then some crayfish got away	D
With lobsters two or three	S
And sundry grips and divers nips	T
Made things extremely free	S
Profane expressions filled the air	U
Disgraceful how some people swear	U
A livelier time than Pat had there	U
You would not wish to see	S
	-
A great hooray the ladies they	D
Declared it was a plot	V
Beyond a doubt to drive them out	W
But leave No they would not	V
They swore that they would clear the coast	X
Or else the guard should lose his post	X
But women always are a most	X
Unreasonable lot	V
	-
On Pat's return to Ingleburn	A
The shell fish were in tow	Y
And things were gay on Castlereagh	B
Preparing for the Show	Y
For every township in the scrub	Z
That owns two churches and a pub	Z
Must run a Show and draw a sub	Z
From Goldsbrough Mort and Co	Y
	-
Now shell fish are extremely rare	U
Upon the Castlereagh	B
And Ingleburn galoots don't yearn	A
For lobster or for cray	D
Lobsters indeed they'd never seen	A
And never might had it not been	A
For Pat Ahearne and he was mean	A
Enough to make them pay	D
	-
On lucre bent he hired a tent	A2
And made a rise with ease	B2
'Twas at the Show of course you know	Y
Where side shows always please	B2
The shell fish they were placed inside	C2
And Pat stood by the door and cried	C2
Walk in and see Australia's Pride	C2
The monster Sydney fleas	B2
