- (continued from previous page)They surrounded the volunteers,
The lads were brave and daring.
And they made a gallant show
They bravely faced the foe that day.
Where the Dripsey River flows.IV

For bullets fell like hail
The bravest of them waited.
To let their comrades go.
And they were shot and captured.
Where the Dripsey River flows.V

To strike another blow.(continues on next page)
