    (continued from previous page)
    They drank a health to Ireland and what could they do more.
    But sing and dance till morning around that schoolhouse floor.
    A merry night being ended with spirits light and gay
    I saw their final parting just at the break of day
    With a song from Daniel Cronin
    "May we rise and never fall"
    T'was their last and parting chorus at the Farmer's Union Ball.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
