  1. The Men of Drumlease

    The Man of Drumlease
    Hark who are those that I see in the distance
    Bearing green banners and beating a drum
    Cheering like men who are bent on resistence
    Steadily onwards and see how they come

    As nearer and nearer come fifer and throng
    You see how their numbers do quickly increase
    Bravely the march along singing their starring song
    Out and make way fo rhe men of Drumlease
    III
    See at their head Father Cormack Mac Sharry
