A Song
“Lord Waterford is not gone, ¶ Says the Sean Bhean Bhoct.”
I
Lord Waterford is not gone,
Says the Sean Bhean Bhoct.
His spirit still lives on,
Says the Sean Bhean Bhoct.
And the Farmers down in Kill,
Are they slaves enough to win,
That such tyrants rule us still,
Says the Sean Bhean Bhoct.II
But we had another day
Says the Sean Bhean Bhoct.
When the British thought that (they)
Says the Sean Bhean Bhoct.
Had us Irish on the run
that they make us (the) take the gun
In their war against the Hun,
Says the Sean Bhean Bhoct.(continues on next page)
