    It was woe to the knave
    that would slight them
    Or the cause of his country
    betray.
    When in conflict he was
    a brave soldier,
    And no cowardice ever did
    show.
    For planning he could not
    be equalled
    For he always outwitted
    his foe.
    The Crown Forces anxiously
    sought him,
    But needless to say 'twas
    in vain.
    He was hidden from those
    tyrant traitors
    By the invisible band of
    Sinn Fein.
