    And a son of Granuaile.
    I joined the Fenian brotherhood
    In the year of sixty four
    Bound to save our native land
    Or perish on its shore.

    Ah! My curse be on those traitors
    Who did our cause betray,
    I'd tie a rope around their neck
    And drown them in the say(sea).

    And Talbot; that makes four
    They are banned and exiled from our land
    And cursed for evermore.
