    The men of Drumlease
    Look who are those that i see in the distance.
    Bearing green banners and beating a drum.
    The look like men who are bent on resistance.
    Steadily onward you see how they come.
    You see at their head Fr. Cormac Mac Sharry,
    The tried and the trusted the valient and the true.
    To lead and direct us our rights to protect us.
