   I meant to free my county on lonely Banna Strand
   VI
   The took Sir Roger prisoner and sailed for London town
   As in the tower they laid him as a traitor to the crown
   Says he "I am no traitor but his trial he had [?]
   For bringing Germans and rifles to lonely Banna Strand
   VII
   Farewell to my native country
   I mean't to set you free
   But alas I fear I brought you not
   But woe and misery.
   Gods curse be on those Germans
   Who persuaded me to land
   They fled and left me to my fate
   On lonely Banna Strand
