    How Irish heroes fought and died.
    Their rights for to maintain.
    He told them how the great O'Neill.
    His victory had won.
    All in Clontibret valley.
    With bayonet and the gun.
    From sunrise until sunset.
    This hero conquered on.
    And he broke the English ranks that night.
    Before the clock struck one.
    I hope you wom't forget the men that fought '98.
    Likeway's the Dublin martyr's.
    How sad was all their fate.
    Stand firm and true for Ireland.
