    (continued from previous page)
    I would tie a millstone round their necks and drown them in the sea.
    Nagle, Newno and O'Brien and Power to make four.
    Like Davis for his conduct
    In hell do loudly roar.
    There was O Leary and young Mackey and brave O'Donovan Rossa,
    It grieved me for to part with them when we left O Carroll's Cross.
    If we live, and prosper, the truth I do declare.
    Like O'Mahony in America, the green flag we shall wear
    Cheer up my gallant Fenian boys, the day is not far away.
    Now Fenian boys the flag we'll raise and trample tyranny.
    Our gallant sons beyond the Sea will gain in unity.
    We'll raise the flag of freedom and fight for liberty.
