“Dá mbeadh pípín lán tobac agam”
(continued from previous page)Arch Deacon Bland
The Serahan evicted tenants are now in their lands
In spite of the devil or Arch-deacon Bland They are now independent to leave it no more
By the boys of the Shillelaghs who rattled in the doors
Arch-deacon Bland was the devil's old boy
He threw them on the roadside to perish or die
But success to Mr. Johnson their wants he did supply
And he said he'll make old Thady [?] have another baby boy
II
When Arch-deacon Bland will die we'll all know where he'll go.
He'll be next in the ranks of Beelzabub below.
He'll take with him Mike O'Riordan, Tom Ciarby and Riley Tim
We're forgetting Sullivan Super he'll have plenty company then.
Let ye break Arch-deacon Bland and break him three times o'er.- The Serahan evicted tenants are now in their lands
