But the treacherous scoundrel, he took us all in

For he married a Papish named Bridget McGinn

And the boys in the county made such a stir on it

They forced Bob to flee to the province of Connaught;

Took with him his wife and his fixins, to boot,

Each Sunday at mass, to atone for past deeds,

Bob said Paters and Aves and counted his beads

And blow as he would, though he made a great noise,

The flute would play only “The Protestant Boys”.

Bob jumped up and huffed, and was all in a flutter.

He thought that this charm would bring some other sound,

When he tried it again, it played “Croppies Lie Down!”

For to play Papish music, the flute would not go;

“Kick the Pope” to “Boyne Water” was all it would sound

Not one Papish bleat in it could e'er be found.
Tidak ada orang yang memerah di situ bisa ditemukan.

At a council of priests that was held the next day
Di sebuah dewan imam yang diadakan keesokan harinya
They decided to banish the Old Flute away;

They couldn't knock heresy out of its head
Mereka tidak bisa mengalahkan ajaran sesat dari kepalanya
So they bought Bob another to play in its stead.
Jadi mereka membeli Bob yang lain untuk menggantikannya.

And the Old Flute was doomed, and its fate was pathetic
Dan seruling tua itu ditakdirkan, dan nasibnya menyedihkan
'Twas fastened and burnt at the stake a
‘Twas diikat dan dibakar di tiang a
