    (continued from previous page)
    Ye sons of Brian Boru
    Long life to Tom McGuigan
    That has lately sailed ore
    From the land of stars and stripes
    To view his native shore
    He brought the light for St. Johns night
    With free heart and good will
    To fraternise old Erins boys and luminate the hill
    St Marys band they did play grand
    In a circle round the blaze
    The young and old they did make bold
    And on them did gaze
    The drums they were like thunder
    And the flutes played loud an shrill
    And they made the valleys echo around Listinney Hill.
