The only one I leave behind it is my Maggie dear I wonder if she thinks of me when canans they are near. For when the war is over how happy we will be I'll take her to the church to wed a heroes wife to be. Chorus.
I'm out for Dublin the Blues and the Blues our helmet glitter in the sun, our bainets clash like lightening flash at the sounds of the Black and tan gun.
- There is a quern at Mr. Smiths house at Crettyard. This quern used to grind wheat long ago into flour. Out of this flour bread was made. It was called wheaten bread.
