   And bring your rifles with you boys,
   To greet the rising dawn.
   From Dromad, Kesh, and Drumsna,
   To Breffnie of renown,
   From Drumlee and Kiltyclogher,
   And Drumkerran's ancient town.
   Killeshandra and Drumshanbo will not be far behind.
   When Erin's flag of green and gold,
   Is fluttering in the wind.

   Remember stormy '98.
   Lord Edward's cruel death,
   And brave young Emmet's dying words,
   When with his latest breath,
   He said no stone should mark his grave,
   Until his land was free,
   Then up, arise, and strike one blow,
   Again for liberty

   To the great Good God above us,
   We lowly bend the knee,
   O God our father hear us,
   For we have always trusted thee,
   Grant our long divided people,
   Union, strengh and love to guide,
   Us on the day out ranks are found
