Come here a bit nearer
I'll tell you a tale,
How brave DeValera
Got out of the jail.With high walls around
And doors trim and tight
His freedom he found
At the dead hour of night.A motor-car tooted
The brakes were applied,
He boarded and scooted
When he got outside.When the Governor found
That Eamonn had fled,
He offered five pounds
For the Irishman's head. O pity his chance,
As well to have tried,
For to stem the advance
Of Shannon's wide tide.(continues on next page)- Informant
