  1. Another Local Song (continued)

    Electors pay attention and listen for a while, Till I'll tell you of the changes, that are made in Erin's Isle

    (continued from previous page)
    of Killcreagh,
    And cast your vote for Ireland's son your cause he won't deny,
    He'll stand, not run like others done undaunted Jermiah.
    4. Away with shonenism and Government J.P.'s
    Who dare allow our Councels be packed with serf like these,
    Who for their tory's blandishments, a wiggery and fraud,
    They sold their nationality their country and their God.
    5. Now electors all be cautious in April the sixth,
    And be sure that after O'Mahony's name your cross is rightly fixed,
    Elect him as your councellor and with a hand divine
    And God will bless your actions in 1889.
