- (continued from previous page)Saying that well contested race is over
And O'Beirne's mare came down
(IV)
But the Kilmore boys was Irish
And glad am I to say
They made their red coats tremble
All on the races day
They stood up by her side
And solomnely they swore
That on some future day
She'd bring the laurels to Kilmore.
