- (continued from previous page)And there I bought a fanny mare
It was a dear and honest fare
Says poor old Jemmy Gargan(4)
Jack Soden he is an honest man
He carries the flag in Corlurgan land
He is a loyal Orange man
Says poor old Jemmy Gargan
- Arise you gallant Irish men united like you stand
Look out about your lawful rights and banish Cromwells clan
This enemy you plainly see will fight agains us still
But on our Ladies Day we'll show them play at the meeting in CootehillII
All the surrounding parishes in splendour they did go
From Ballyboy to Monaghan Cleevan and Bono
Lavey Laragh Muff and Bawl and likeways Den and Kill
And bold Knockbride she was the Bride at the meeting in CootehillIII(continues on next page)
