- Brave Larry sped across the hill
For Mary's cottage bound
He jumped each ditch and dyke and rill,
As lightly as a hound.
2
Tomorrow the brave insurgent band,
On the hillsides will be seen,
To strike again for native land,
Beneath their flag of green.
3
And Larry's going to take his leave,
Of his Mary fond and true,
That he may go with his brave chief,
And fight for Ireland too.
4
He took her then in his embrace,
And kissed her o'er and o'er,
And with weary heart and troubled face,
He crossed again the moor.
5
The morrow's sun in a purple blaze,
Came forth in all his might,
To Vinegar hill he turned his gaze,
And what a gorgeous sight.
