    He saved his comrades then and there,
    The Boys of Sweet Duagh.

    The boys were trapped, the raid was stopped,
    All forces did withdraw,
    'Twas hard to face their native place,
    The Boys of Sweet Duagh.
    This song was made by Timothy Mc Govern on the occasion of the attempt to take Brosna Barracks in June 1920
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
