They would not be tried in Galway by English cruel laws,
For the judge he knew the jury was in sympathy with the cause.
The trial was brought to Dublin I know it was not fair.
To get the Orange jury who found them guilty there.

The jury that found them guilty was worse than Carey the spy.
For he betrayed our countrymen for the bounty of Mountjoy
For six long days our heroes brave in prison cell did wait.
Depending on Justice Wright to hear of their sad fate.

But when they got their sentence they received it with a smile
Saying it's all for the land we love & dear old Erin's Isle
Cheer up my comrade boys & downhearted do not be.
For the day is fast approaching when we will be set free.
