    had them tricked.
    The people inside got amused at the sport
    When the magistrates soon got retired from the court
    And in five minutes time Mr. Redmond did say
    "We find you not guilty, you may go away"
    When Kelly the Crown Prosecutor did hear
    Those words sound like thunder in his Royal ears
    He put on his coat and away he set sail
    You would think that the devil drove wind in his tail.
    Long live Fr. Ahearne and good Fr. Power
    Who stood by Mr. Pyne in his trial hour
    And every good hero, we thank him as well
    For saving our good Irish man from his cell.
    Now to conclude and to finish my song
    I'm greatly afraid I detained you too long
    All Ireland's green banner you'll shortly see flying
    If you'll vote for old ireland and great Douglas Pyne.
