    But Seamus soon tumbled them down
    Had he numbers to match his opponents
    he soon would walk over the west
    But the Maker of all things had called him
    Along with the brave for to rest

    But the memory of bull will be living
    with all Ireland's best fighting men
    While the brown heather blooms on the
    mountain an the echo rings down through the glen.

    Who bravely stood by his side
    Though the foe pressed on hundreds around them
    Along with his leader he died
    Chorus.
