    There's a pack of ill got Orangemen
    For vengence they are bound
    They'd die before they'd join the League
    To put Lord Farnham down
    Newbridge Coronarey and likewise Billyhill
    I'm sure theirs hearts are aching
    At the meeting in Cootehill
    Verse IV
    Hurragh for Bailieboro both Shercock and Killanne
    They are like the little Shamrock
    Three green leaves are on one stem
    In Brotherhood they did agree
    And are in union still
    They had the place of honour
    For lead thousands in Cootehill
    Verse V
    It was a lovely sight to see
    The arches made of green
    With flags and banners waving
    Most glorious to be seen
    The music was enchanting
    That the bands did loudly play
