    (continued from previous page)
    He'd long to set us free,
    His name should be recorded
    In future history
    Three cheers for brave "O Dolan"
    His heart is in the cause
    He is a noble patriot
    Who hates the English Laws
    But what of cursed Whitesides,
    He did his duty well,
    He'd send us papish every one
    To Connaught or to hell.
    Likewise, Townsley, Vance and Carrigan
    And all their curse'd clan
    They'll ponder well or go to hell
    Till they visit Glan again.
    James Dolan Micky ("Paids") living t present in Gubaveeney remembers many faction fights in Glangevlin
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
