- (continued from previous page)And experienced every drill
At the rise of sixty seven
He had bone and sinew strong
His guns and pikes were ready
Prepared to join the throng.1V
Let each man be a soldier brave
Those words he did repeat
Saying "Hurragh my boys
For freedom's cause
Remember ninty eight"
And in his deep affliction
He spoke in liberty saying
"God save poor Old Ireland
And banish every knave".
I hipe the son of freedom
Will be shining oe'r his grave.V
Oh! death, there is no other
On this earth could make him yield;
For sword or gun he ne'er did shun
But hurried to the field.
The death he bore to freedom
Oh fear it was the cause
He longed to crush old tyrants
And he hated English laws.(continues on next page)
