    Here's to the gallant men of Cloneyheigue
    Who are not afraid of prison cells.
    For they have driven cattle from the
    Verdant hills and meadows of the old Lone Lough.
    So Cloneyheigue is up and doing and no
    more the cattle lowing around the
    Verdant hills and meadows of the old Lone Lough
    Their gallant leader Mathew Seery likewise
    Brave Michal Brennan on his gallant gray
    Have lead the boys to clear the grabbers from the verdant hills and meadows of the old Lone Lough
    So Cloneyheigue is up and going and no more the cattle lowing around
    the Verdant hills and meadows of the old Lone Lough
