    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 bloody Orangemen,
    How they called out their corps
    To hold their celebrations
    At the village of Newtowngore.

    On the twelfth day of July, my boys,
    Nineteen-and thirty one,
    They meant 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.
