(continued from previous page)And Mullagh and Tierworker
And the men of Innisheen
They came with strength and vigour
For to celebrate the green
(5)Our thousand got in order
The procession it went round
They marched through Bailieborough
That village of renown

Going out to Lear
Our music pierced the sky
We made orange men to tremble for the speeches in July
(7)There was Céad Míle Fáilte
For the sons of Granale
With three cheers for Robert Emmet
And the famous Swift McPail
(8)Like wise our noble Chairman
A hero of renown

He is a councillor in the town
(9)They spoke of Robert Emmet
Who was hung without a crime(continues on next page)
