    (continued from previous page)
    Farmers, labourers, see your model there
    Be you all as ready for the cause to do and dare
    As the three brave blacksmiths down in Co. Clare
    II
    Three brave blacksmiths were marched away to jail
    Off they went quite content their spirits didn't fail
    They wouldn't make apology they wouldn't offer bail
    And so they got their punishment a week for every nail
    III Chorus etc
    Three brave blacksmiths coming home once more
    They met a crowd of loving friends at the prison door
