    Boru
    Garryowne and Tara's hall
    God save Ireland was the next
    Out martyrs who died in jail
    But we need not fret
    We'll have Home Rule yet
    Said poor old Granuaile
    Since O'Connells time in '29
    We had no greater men
    They struggled hard both night and day
    To gain our rights again
    Still by coercion they were bown
    And our sons were sent to jail
    But we need not fret, we'll release them yet
    Said poor old Granuaile
    I woke up from my slumber
    Excited by my fright
    I thought it was the broad day light
