Six hundred valiant warriors
With ardour joined the fray
But ere the close of night Alas
In mangled corpses lay
Ah! manfully Ah! manfully
They fought and nobly died
But ever more their memory dear
Shall in our hearts abide.
VII
The men that framed the Penal Code
Are in the dust to-day
While brave Liscarroll's banner floats
Awaiting freedom's ray
Emblazoned on it still behold
The wolf dog watching fast
Beside that good Old castle
That relic of the past.
VIII
Beneath its folds assemble now
And fight with might and main
That good Old fight to make our land
"A Nation Once Again"
Ay, falter not till Alien rule
In dark oblivion falls
And stand as freemen yet beneath
Those Old Historic Walls.
