    How many years have passed
    Since first I saw that name
    When freedom's sons in rebel Cork
    Staked all in freedom's game.

    Dunhallow's son and e'er her pride
    Was in the vanguard then
    And bravely sang of Erin's woe's
    To rouse her fighting men.

    Another minstrel in the south
    Twixt Lee and Avondhu
    You kept our banner to the fore
    'Gainst many with the few.
