Send me the vessel or the coin.
Thomas Bohan, Drumgowna, Annghmon, Mohill gave me this song which was compoased by "Poet" Higgins.
- Arise brave men of Leitrim,
With your countrymen arise,
Hurrah to-day for freedom,
Fling your banner to the skies.

And swear both one and all.
To free the land that bore you,
From Cape Clear to Donegal.Come from the hills of Ballinamore,
From Fenagh's verdant vale,
From Mohill, Cloone, and Newtowngore,
From Carrick' green clad dales.
From Carrigallen, Camber, Dunachmore and Mullagh,(continues on next page) - Collector
