    With the crimson blood of the beaten yeos.
    At Tubberneering and Ballyheills,
    Full many a Hession lay in his gore,

    And the Yeos at Tullow took Father Murphy,
    And burned his body upon the rack.
    God grant you glory brave Father Murphy,
    And open heaven to all your men,
    The cause that called you may call to-morrow,
    In another fight for the green again.
