    And a ball from o'Connor, that tyrant laid low.
    So Hurrah for the Fenians of
    Caherciveen
    V
    So boldly and bravely we all
    marched along
    We met Father Meginn a worthy
    good man
    He gave us his blessing twas
    plain to be seen
    Saying "ye true sons of Erin go
    fight for the green
    And Hurrah for the Fenians of
    Caherciveen
    VI
    Chorus
    Hurrah for the Fenians of Caherciveen
    No bolder or braver that them e'er were seen
    With their swords and their bagonets
    their pikes and their guns
    Twas glorious to see poor Granuales
    sons
    And Hurrah for the Fenians
    of Caherciveen.
