- A Historic Note
There is an old man living out on the Tea road. That man was a Fenian. This piece of verse was made about that man.
I
Thirty thousand men on horse-back
Surrounded a cottage on the hill
And shouted come out Moscow Milerick or we'll blow your cottage in.
II
He was a gallant fighter
And surrender he would not
They then tried to capture him
But a burst of firing was all the got
Because Moscow had a family and guns they had also got.
