    The Gaels they marched in order,
    'neath the Orange green and white.
    And surrounded the Orange platform,
    And soon razed it to the floor,
    And captured poor King Billy's head
    At the village of Newtowngore.
    And above that fallen debris
    It was glorious to be seen,
    Floating high up to the sky
    Was the Orange white and green.

    We gave three rousing cheers
    Then for Connaught ever more.
    And the Orange clan away they ran
    From the village of Newtowngore.
    We had men from Killaneen,
    Fenagh, Ardrum, and Drumbeigh,
    From Dereen, Clogher, Cavan,
    To join us in the fray;
    From Garadice, Aughawillion,
    Curragcluhan, and Dromod,
    They were all there and did their share
    At the village of Newtowngore
