A Song (continued)
“A long farewell to Headford hill its true I now must bid”
(continued from previous page)the shamrock grows.
Chrs. With a willing mind ect.12
So comrades true I ask of you to kindly think of me
And breathe a prayer for my wellfare while I'm in slavery
And like Wolf Tone when I'll go home to the cause I'll add more fuel
And boldly fight both day and night for Ireland and home rule.
Chorus
With a willing mind I am inclined as you may understand.
To march and fight both day night for the rights of Father-land.
Till up once more we'll drink go leór to Headford's noble pride.
Who is now a slave in a living grave young Healy true and tried.
