    At the siege of Rossmacowen.
    (Chorus)
    So rally round from every side.
    Your cause is good and grand.
    We'll keep each tenant farmer.
    In his little spot of land.
    III
    Those bogs and barn mountains.
    Those poor farmers now must till.
    Whilst the land shark he is waiting.
    His causes to fulfill.
    Now those days are long gone by.
    And working under hand.
    To the Divel we'll pitch old Saunders.
    And we'll hold our spot of land.
    (Chorus)
    So rally round from every side.
    Your cause is good and grand.
    To the Divel we'll pitch old Saunders.
    And we'll hold our spot of land.
