- (continued from previous page)And travelled quick and far
From Ardraghan to Clarenbridge,
And from that to Castlegar.
Father Feeney in their midst
For the green of the Golden height
Our Irish sons stood with their guns
At the town of AthenryGod bless the boys of Galway
Who stood, their guns in hand
Who took the road for old Moyode
And to fight for Ireland
And when they left their homes that day
They bid a fond Good-bye
Because they loved their country dear
They were prepared to dieThey were the truest Irishmen
that stood on Erin's shore.
And it's with their lead
Shot a peeler dead
At the crossroads of Carnmore
