   In the highways and byways of famed Araglin.

   These men should be tried said a loyal J.P.
   Before a competent Tribunal of Military,
   As a Justice of Peace I think its about time,
   To put down Sinn Fein in the diocese of Cloyne.

   Sergeant Snowball looked proud as he started the job,
   He says to himself "I've five rebels by gob",
   Four came from Araglin and one from Fermoy,
   If I get them convicted I'll be made a D.I."

   As he went to describe how the drilling began,
   "Form fours" was then shouted by Captain O'Denn,
   He took a step forward "I'm wrong Jacus Jack,
   They were going to the front when we were coming back."

   As he went to relate how the drilling was done,
   Says Fitzgerald "Your worship this man takes the bun,
   Of all men I've ever met he's the greatest buffoon,
   We must give him the brush,
   Like the man in the moon."

   The R. M. looked up with a serious face,
   And said "By majority we'll dismiss the case"
   As Snowball retired he smothered a sigh,
   Saying "But for Fitzgerald I'd be made a C. I."
