    “And now I think north Kerry men”

    Local Song
    And now I think North Kerry men
    Tis full time you should begin
    Join with the rest of Ireland in heart and land and mind
    Cant you think on Parnell who suffers in his prison cell
    In the jail of Kilmainham in his chains there he pines
    So let me see it ore and ore
    From Ballyduff to Shannon Shore
    Over by Beale and Tullamore
    And into Urlee
    Before a week is is an end we'll have a band of moonlight men
    Who by the banks of lovely Doon by moonlight we shall be.
    Hand every man boys to Parnell and his band
    Fight for the Cause and you'll surely win it too
    Think on young Emmet gone Russel and brave Wolfe Tone
    Fight for your Parnell his valiant and True.
