- (continued from previous page)He plain for to be seen
The McCormacks, Butlers, Bentons,
And the Kennedys from Killeen.
With O'Dwyer from Templederry
And the O'Kellys too
With Martin Bourke from Riverfield
The oppressor they subdued.
They need no idle boadting
Or they fear no hostile band
Against any team in Ireland
They do not fear to stand.
The Ballinahinches we made the flinch
Which caused them for to feel
They will try to be victorious
Wherever they may roam
And we pray that they may gain the day
And bring the laurels home.
Then Hurrah for poor old Erin's Isle
Her sons were always brave
May heaven pour some belssings down
Her people for to save.
And guard the land whereon we stand
St. Patrick blessed of yore
May we live in peace and harmony
And keep tyrants from our shore.
