   I'll send away to Shercock."

   'Twas Captain Goe cried out, "My boys
   Maintain your ground, and fear no noise,
   We'll massacre these Orange Boys
   And burn the town of Shercock."

   No sooner had he then turned round
   Till he received his fatal wound;
   His heels went up and his head went down
   At Billy Wimp's door in Shercock.

   Marquet followed in this same way.
   They thought to swear our lives away.
   To jail we went without delay,
   And had no guards for Shercock.

   One Phil Reilly, he swore
   A lie behind and two before,
   They thought his evidence was sure
   On Johnstone's life in Shercock.

   But the judge and jury they all knew,
   That not a word he spoke was true,
   And sent him to the "purged slew"
   The Ribbon-men of Shercock
