    “Where the Bride flows winding by,”

    Share Share Post
    Where the Bride flows winding by
    Pointing upwards to the sky
    Stands Lisfinny Castle ivied grim and tall
    And within its stored tower
    Pyne, the hero of the
    Greets the friends or foes
    Upon him that may call.
    Chorus
    Sing the hero of Lisfinny boys! Hurrah!
    Ireland's friend, the people's friend, hurrah!
    Friend of every Irish man
    Oh! 'tis now he's in the van
    In his castle high among his friends today.
    When across the sea he went
    To foreign Parliament
    True and trusted was he in Irish band
    Never flinching from his post
    One mans duty ever-doing for his band.
    Boys to Pyne, we'll fill a cup with bright blessing
    Brimming up, good luck be his fortune and his fame
