   De Valera

   Here comes I, De Valera, I'm called "Eddie of the Hills"

   I brought the British to their knees at the battle of Boland's Mills,

   I hate the name of Johnny Bull and all his hireling crew,

   And when I get Tim and Billy on the run I'll get a Republic for you,

   And now etc.

   
   Joe Devlin

   Here comes I, Joe Devlin, a Home Ruler true and bold,

   I never liked Tim Healy for the "cause" he's always sold,

   Cosgrave is a twister and Lloyd George is a rogue,

   Ah! God help old Erin - my one love - Tir-na-nÓg.
