   we'd strike another blow
   to set old Ireland free.
   How foolish were by boyish thoughts
   We were months upon the run
   But it did good work in Ireland then
   Did that old Finian gun".

   "It was down in Killmallock
   'twas the hottest fight of all.
   and you see (he bared his arm)
   theres the mark still of the ball.
   I hope the boys that going now
   Will keep the cause we've won
   And not desgrace our nation
   By not holding a Finian gun.
