    The lorries were ours before Twilight
    And high over Dunmanway town
    Our banners in triumph were waving
    To show that the Tans were gone down
    We gathered our rifles and Bayonets
    And soon left the glen so obscure
    And never [?] rein till we hailed
    At the Far away camp of Granure.
