   It happened once upon a time,
   As sages tell in phrase sublime
   That Tom Gilheaney stout and straight,
   Prepared his pike in '98.
   And from Drumkeeran did advance,
   To join the Gallant sons of France.
   Thus hastily equipped for war,
   He journeyed on to Castlebar,
   And there he showed good Irish play,
   Before the saxon ran away
   It made him joyful to behold.
   The flutter of the green and gold,
   And oftimes that day he said,
   Thank God! the Green waves o'er the red.
   Next morning to Colooney then,
   He marched with the Killala men.
   Where victory again did smile,
   Upon the banners of our Isle,
   The green clad warriors in command.
   Each honest charge with sword in hand.
   Made use of the old battle cry,
   "Here goes to conquer or to die"
   The rank and file with lances long
   Unfailing nerves and sinews strong
   The vengeful manhood did obey
   Which made them victors of the day.
