  1. Last night as we assembled
    in Kilmore romantic glen
    We assembled for to drilling boys
    We had but nine or ten
    But as the moon shone brightly
    We made up some 44
    We were drilled by Captain Nolan
    In the sand-hills of Kilmor.
    We had some men from Milford Glen
    Some more from Addergown
    We had men from the Cashen Shore
    And the sea coasts all around
    We had one ONeill from Boher. bar
    Who is now in an Australia Shore
    He drilled the ranks of our Fenian lads
    In the sand hills of Kilmore
    We had Ballyduff and Causeway boys
    Around by the Castle Green
