  1. Mr Pyne's Trial in Dungarvan

    Share Share Post
    Mr. Pyne's trial in Dungarvan.
    Composed by:
    Patrick Hurley, West St., Tallow, Co. Waterford.
    Ye sons of old Erin pay attention awhile,
    For these simple verses will cause you to smile
    The clicks of the Castle have lately been trying
    To send the plank bed, our great Douglas Pyne.
    Chorus
    The 18 of November is next poling day
    It's then we will drive the land grabbers away
    For the landlords of Wire with vengeance are crying
    Since they were defeated by great Douglas Pyne
    2
    In Ballymacarbery he has be tried
    There were fifty horse soldiers stationed outside
    If there was any disturbance
    They would pepper the mob
    3
    There was Kelly from Waterford city who came down
    To take out the case if he could for the Crown
    And Keegan who took down the speech that was said
    Couldn't read half the words that Brave Douglas had said.
