    (continued from previous page)
    We lighted up the town
    And long life to Great Burchell
    For he treated them around.
    VII
    Long life to Michael Davitt -
    - the hero of Mayo-
    And Cummings and O'Kelly too
    Where ever they may go.
    Likewise to Gallant Brave Parnell,
    And all our friends we pray;
    Three cheers for noble Burchell -
    - The best land-lord of the day
    _______
    Drumshanbo is a small town in Co. Leitrim and Burchell was a land-lord who lived in the neighbourhood.
