    About the land of Clonmacnoise
    How they did agitate.
    Right nobly then they did it well.
    As in the day of yore
    Where they stopped the cruel ecitor
    Down by the shannon shore
    Four hundred years of wars and tears
    The forces of the crown
    Where sent into this holy place
    To stew the people down
    Then as well there came again
    Another armed band
    For to protect old Charleton
    And keep and mind the Land
    The people's cause has beaten the land
    As you may plainly see
    For we will soon have out Parliament
    And then we will be free.
