    Arch Deacon Bland
    The Serahan evicted tenants are now in their lands
    In spite of the devil or Arch-deacon Bland They are now independent to leave it no more
    By the boys of the Shillelaghs who rattled in the doors
    Arch-deacon Bland was the devil's old boy
    He threw them on the roadside to perish or die
    But success to Mr. Johnson their wants he did supply
    And he said he'll make old Thady [?] have another baby boy
    II
    When Arch-deacon Bland will die we'll all know where he'll go.
    He'll be next in the ranks of Beelzabub below.
    He'll take with him Mike O'Riordan, Tom Ciarby and Riley Tim
    We're forgetting Sullivan Super he'll have plenty company then.
    Let ye break Arch-deacon Bland and break him three times o'er.
