- The night fell dark around Limerick
And all the lamps were still
And for our foes in ambush
We lay beside the hill
Like lions bold we waited
To reach upon our prey
With gallant Sarsfield at our back
By the dawning of the dayAt the lonely hour of Midnight
Each man did mount his steed
And through the streets of Cullen
They dashed with lightning speed
By all the way we thundered down to Ballineety Walls
Where lay those foes securely
Their guns and stores of war
We asked them for their password
Brave Sarsfield was the man
Here we are ur General cried
And down on them we ran
While God he cleared the firament
The moon and stars gave light
And for the Battle of the Boyne
We had revenge that night(continues on next page)
