“It gives me much sorrow this tale to relate, About the disaster that happened so late, The rebels around me have got the wind up, And with the last year or so I haven't the life of a pup.”
Song: “It gives me much sorrow this tale to relate,
About the disaster that happened so late,
The rebels around me have got the wind up,
And with the last year or so I haven't the life of a pup.
The Araglen barracks were the first they attacked.
They gagged Constable O'Malley and drove him right mad
Shanley and "Snowball" at mass they had been
And when they came home no gun could be seen
They dismantled my car felled trees at my gate
But the saddest of all I've yet to relate
At half past eleven and I going to bed
A rebel approached me those words to me said
Your wife and your fair daughter(continues on next page)- Collector
