   I
   Erin, dear Erin I find the still bleed
   Say! must your Sons slumber or pass this foul deed
   Or shall they awake at the direful call
   Yes! yes and curse bronze with you all

   Chorus.
   And ye catholic heroes in future agree
   Exertion and union will soon set you free

   Thirty thousand marched off under Cruice's command
   All fearless of danger their valour to try
   Determined to conquer those bloodhounds or die
