   Attention pay kind friends just listen for a while
   Until you hear the heroic deeds of those boys from Eirn's Isle
   Twelve patriots we represent who nobly fought to right their country's wrongs
   Soldiers saints valiant kings and warriors brave and strong
   The first he is St Columcille who once provoked the state
   Left Eirn's shore nee'r saw it more for why he will relate
   Brian Boru the great and right who crushed the haughty Danes
   He is here to tell how long and well old Eirn he did reign
   Art Mac Morraugh is the next oer Linster sept he swayed
   The great King Richard and his knights their rule he nee'r obeyed
   Owen Roe O'Neill no prince more grand in the lordly race of Neill
   Benburb he won with Ulster's spear and wore a Spanish mail
   Pat Sarsfield too you'll hear him tell of Limerick's battered walls
   Where women fought and caring naught for running firing ball
   The great Wolfe Tone at whose very name the coward shakes with fear
   And Lord Edward to of Crochabu we'll also greet him here
   Likewise John Kelly of Killane to tell of
