  1. (continued from previous page)
    There is honour in gallant irregulars
    Which will prove in your little shebeen.
    It was lively she filled up their bumpers
    Here is a memory to each one they cried
    The men who have battled for Eirn
    on the green beach of glory they died.

  2. Come all ye jolly roving boys
    From Garryshane and Grage
    I'll sing for you a verse or two
    Indeed you'll find it strange,
    concering corkscrew O'Dwyer,
    who lately found a wife
    He has a farm up in Latten
    And leads a cawny fife,
    I was at the break of day one morning
    The neighbours did'nt know where
    some said it was a funeral
    and others said a fair
    But still they were suspcious
    and began to talk it o'er
    Till they found that he was married
