    V
    Good bye my loving wife I shall never see thee more
    But try and take your children to America's sweet shore
    And tell all the young men you meet oer the main
    That Maxwell the murderer your husband has slain.
    VI
    Are you ready for the day boy's that is now drawing nigh
    Are you ready for the hour when the rifles crack on high
    And we'll show to Loydd George that his plan's are all in pain
    And we'll hoist on every hilltop the banner of Sinn Féin.
