- Ye Catholics all both great and small
I hope ye will draw near
And likewise pay attention unto those few lines I've here
Concerning wicked Orangemen
How they called out their troops
To hold their celebration at the village of Newtowngore.
II
On the thirteenth day of July, my boys! nineteen and thirty one
They ment to hold their meeting
And march in 4,000 strong
But the gallant boys of Leitrim
They turned out by the score
And soon upset their meeting at the village of Newtowngore
III
In Newtowngore that morning it was a glorious sight
The Gaels they marched in order 'neath
The Orange, Green, and White
And surrounded the Orange platform
And soon razed it to the floor
And captured poor King Billy's head
At the village of Newtowngore.(continues on next page)
