   His tender-hearted father lent a helping hand,

   To banish honest Irishmen far from their native land.

   Now Drumaville and Banlaugh, Ture and Carrowmena to feel,

   With hearts like steel, they stood the field as Irishmen should do,

   Was I possessed of riches great, of banners bright,

   Truly I would bestow it on Carrowmena quarter-land.

   
   Now to conclude and finish I will lay down my pen,

   Their names shall be recorded by every loyal friend,

   For when the times were at their worst how nobly they did stand,

   They're the terror of the landlords and friends of Paddy's Land.
