   “Twas in the year of ninety eight, the time of the blood and woe, when many a Saxon reeled”

   'Twas in the year of ninety-eight,
   The time of blood and woe,
   When many a Saxon reeled,
   beneath the rebel's vengeful blow,
   British troops before them flew,
   Like chaff before the gale,
   When they heard the dreadful war cry,
   Of the sons of Innsfail.
   'Twas on June the sixth and twentieth
   I heard some old men say
   The battle of Kilcumney was fought and lost that day,
   Tho' the rebels they were routed,
   They strove with good will,
   And many a pickeman wandered that night upon the hill.
   II
   THe sun was bright and shining,
   On a Summer afternoon,
   Like burnished gold was gleaming,
   Each helmeted dragoon,
   Nine mounted Ancient Britons,
   Knocked ag John Murphy's gate,
   They burst the wicket open,
   No answer would they wait.
