  1. (continued from previous page)
    Seadh cuala dá labhairt ar maidin inde
    Agus fágaimís siúd mar atá sé
    IX
    That now Dan O Connell and Barry the Brave
    Agus a gcuid eile dá gcáirde go léir
    They are gone over to London to send up Repeal
    Agus fágaimís siúd mar atá sé.
    X
    Now before I conclude or else finish my tale
    Guidim treasgairt is múchadh an sliocht Luther, dream claon
    Those blood thirsty crew we'll pursue to hell-flames
    Agus fágaimís siúd mar atá sé.
    XI
    Beidh ár mbuachaillí geala fé gradam is réim
    With full flowing bumpers of Brandy and ale
    Success to O Connell and long may he reign
    Singing fágaimís siúd mar atá sé.
    …………………………..
    This song was made about Daniel OConnell after he winning Catholic Emancipation and while he was advocating for the Repeal of the Union.
