    On the 13th of August you's all mind the day

    (continued from previous page)
    On the 13th of August you's all mind the day
    When the light Water Band to Inch took her way
    To gather the orange men all that mighty day
    But Nancy Mac Cormac her praises will sing
    She stood on the rampart like an Irish Drogon.
    She fired the bombshells, off left wing
    And she broke down, the carriage and David Colhoun
    Three cheers for Nancy whose praises well sing.
