    And those brave suspects now in jail
    Their words resound ore' hill and vale
    Never falter flinch or fail
    Brave men of Ballymore

    To uphold the cause is our intent
    Our flag it floats and is unbent
    Well pay no rent
    Until from prison home they're sent
    Free men to Ballymore
    So let the flag be hoisted high
    That Billy Keefe it may defy
    And be a peril in each peeler's eye
    that walks thro' Ballymore.

    Here's to the brave fellows far away
    To Thomas John and Joseph Fay
    In prison cells they pine to day.
    Far far from Ballymore
