    We'll cross o'er the glens to Daniel O'Dea.
    Whose character is well known without e'er a stain.
    That he don't give a damn for the boys of Sinn Féin.
    But when they came to this Daniel O'Dea.
    "Did ye come now" says Dan "to put me in my clay,
    I got orders from Colby from your cause to abstain
    And now I must fight with the boys of Sinn Féin".

    I suppose that you all know Tim Connell of Nadd
    While he'll have plenty porter, he'll never be sad.
    He is a D.C. and he'll be one again.
