- Seo Sompla (bhéarle[?]) & is amhrán a rinneadh fa'n bhathadh Our Fanad Boys.Now to keep them in memory their names I will explainJohn Tolan first in number and his cousin James McLeanJohn Tillan and James Duffy, likewise the four McSwinesFor loyalty and bravery their equal you scare could find.There are a few lads to mention which are worthy of regard,Dougal Doherty, Hugh Cannon and likewise brave James CarrYoung Anton Friel I do be wail and Francis McAteerDominic Cocharan and James Breslin are the number drowned you know.Thanks be to kind Providence that all their corpses were found,And that each and everyone of them entered a Consecrated groundMay the angels conduct their souls, I earnestly do pray,Into a mansion glory where St Peter holds the keys.
