    Captain Bland (Continued)
    By Abbeylaras' ancient walls
    Where monks in bygone days
    Made the Abbey's cloisters ring
    With song of prayer and praise
    By Old Kilbride and Ballinacross
    They gallop swift and grand
    Up Barrack St by Cronins Fort

    The barracks gates till open wide
    The steeds prance in once more
    The gates are shut and all is still
    The midnight ride is o'er
    But old men say that trouble great
    Comes swift on our land
    When'er the headless horseman drives
    The coach of Captain Bland
