   “Twas back long ago in the year '68...”

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Twas back long ago in the year '68
   When the landlord and agent were running the State
   And the tenant implored with his hat in his hand
   That their honours might let him hold on to the land
   And the Fenians were scattered and chased day & night
   But what matter! although they went down in the fight
   They left us the Spirit that laughed at all fear
   And inspired them to die for the cause they held dear
   'Twas then you might find a great boy here & there
   Who leaped a big river with five feet to spare
   With a gun in his hand and the bag on his back
   While he laughed at the game-keeper hard on his track
   Or who hammered the peelers in Buttevant Square
   When they tried to arrest him the day of the fair.
   Now big William Murphy well-known far and wide
   A fine able man with no swagger or pride
   Was famous at throwing the sledge and the weight
   About the same time in the year '68
   And his friends sent a challenge for miles all around
   Declaring his master could nowhere be found
   But at length and at last a bold rival was got[?]
   To challenge "Big Bill" in his own native spot
