Song
“we'll raise the flag of freedom”
Cheer up my boys with heart and hand and think of New Year's Day.
We'll raise the flag of freedom with our banners bright and gay as we marched through Sekreen we wore the green and cheered every one
To give freedom to old Ireland and a happy New Year's Day.2
The mountains below us they smiled with joy
As we crossed o'er the moor
As we went down the ladies' brae.
We viewed Tír Éirigh's shore
The boys they came to meet us,
As we marched in ranks so gay and the harp of Erin's freedom it was sounded on New Year's Day.
The Collooney boys all came there from Easkey and Dromore.(continues on next page)- Collector
