  1. I.
    Attend you gallant Irishmen,
    And listen for a while,
    Till I'll tell to you the changes,
    That are made in Erin's Isle.
    The Election of new Councillors
    To represent us in our cause
    And to amend the state of Ireland
    And to rectify her laws.
    II.
    I ask you to assemble
    In earnest, not for sport
    To elect a true born patriot
    For the division of Warren's Court
    The man that I refer to
    Is a man of ancient fame
    He's a famous sixty-seven man
    And O'Mahony is his name.
    III.
    So away with shownínism
    And government J. P.s
    Who would dare allow our Council
    To be packed with stuff like these?
