    His freedom he found
    At the dead hour of night
    3
    A motor car tooted,
    The brakes were applied,
    He boarded and scooted,
    When he got inside.
    4
    When the governor found
    The Eamon had fled
    He offered five pound
    For the Irishman's head.

    I pity his chance
    Tis well to have tried
    For to stem the advance
    Of shannon wild tide
    6

    Would barter his soul
    And merit means scorn
    For traiters' dole

    The hour is at hand
    When bugles of freedom
    Shall sound through the land
