    To guide my slender quill
    I array the claim,
    To sound the praise,
    Of the youths of sweet Redhills.
    II
    Cavan town of high renown
    It's credits I'll enfold
    Belturbet town and Clones
    Their credits I'll uphold
    And straight away through Ballybay
    To Shercock and Cootehill,
    My voice I'll raise
    To sound the praise,
    Of the youths of sweet Redhills
    III
    With grief I now recall to mind
    Each well remembered scene
    The harvest mirth,
    The Xmas glee
    And the dances on the green
    The pleasant shades of Clovenhill,
    Where the birds sing loud and shrill
    And the girl with whom,
    I used to rome
    Around sporting sweet Redhlls.
