   The Men Of Barry's Column.

   When British terror failed to win
   Allegiance from our people then,
   The Black and Tans they were brought in
   They thought to teach us manners.
   But, instead of teaching them they were taught
   a lesson, which they dearly bought
   For when Kilmichael's Day was fought
   Low was the bloody Banner.
   (The version I learned was "...low were their bloody banners"

   They sought to wipe the Column out
   From east to west from north to south
   Till at Cross Barry's bloody rout,
   They woke from their day dreaming.
   Though ten to one they were that day
   Our boys were victors in the fray,
   And over the hills we marched away
   With bagpipes merrily screaming.
   The Essex brutes who tortured Hales
   They cleared the lands to fill the jails,
   Paid dearly for their deeds were they
   When passing by Toureen on day,
   We dearly made the Essex pay
   And well avenged our brothers.
