    Air: Lass of Gorey.
    Ist Verse
    'Oh there are hearts where friendship reign
    Amidst the tempests of despair.
    Oh! there is blood within those veins
    That faithful flow despite of care
    If hearts like these you would adore
    Where love is centred in the core
    They dwell apart from Erin's shore
    In Social Ballylanders.
    II Verse
    Their brow is stern, their tempers high,
    They brook no wrong at any price
    The fiery flash that light their eyes
    Denotes no trace of cowardice
    But meet them o'er a flowing bowl
    Where wine inflames the youthful soul
    And mirth and joy pervade the whole
    The Boys of Ballylanders.
