Local Songs - Patrick Brady (continued)
“Ye true born heroes I hope”
(continued from previous page)To march with the Frenchmen it left me much troubled in mind
To think I should go and leave my two brothers behind.
We fought with good courage, but defeated we were on that day.
We were forced to retreat our heroes no longer could stay.
They could never yield till they'd lost the last drop of their blood.
To the sweet county Wicklow for refuge we thought for a fall
We were taken in Rathangan and twelve were in Naas.
