  1. The Land for the People with Pyne in the Vane (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    And I asked him how was Pyne.
    He told me in a whisper
    He was thinking to resign
    Our little game is a failure
    For our powders won't explode
    I'm packing up my 'coutrements
    Before I get the road.
    We were working for the landlords
    Till there was nothing left to pay
    To think about, like horses work away.
    For God is good and merciful
    Our prayers He'll surely grant
    For if we ask for justice
    It's our own we only want
    Our native land of Erin
    The fields our forefathers purchased
    We'll win them, every sod.
