    There were twelve of them from Aughavas
    And two from Arva town
    No doubt they gave a helping hand
    The grabber to put down
    13
    On the 19th day of January
    Them all had got command

    Assembled one and all
    Led by their grand attorney

    In every word they swore
    His name was Mr Kiernan
    From the town of Ballinamore
