    (continued from previous page)
    Our thousands got in order the procession it went round
    They marched through Bailieborough
    That village of renown
    Both front and rare going out by Lear our music pierced the sky
    We made the Orangemen tremble for their speeches in July
    There was cead mile fault for the sons of granuale
    With three cheers for Robert Emmet and the famous Swift McNail
    Like wise our noble chairman a Hero of renown
    Whose name is T. M. Farelly he is a counciller in the town
    They spoak of Robert Emmet who was hung without a crime
    And history will recall his deeds until the end of time
    It was a youthful murder as you may understand
    That he died a true hearted martyr for the sake of Ireland.
