    Like many more true hearted men
    He crossed the ocean wide
    To seek a home in a foreign land
    Which at home he was denied.
    Yet there his labours never ceased
    He joined with heart and hand
    With other exiles like himself
    To aid his motherland.
    V1
    May God have mercy on your soul
    My noble hearted Dan
    You always proved where ere you went
    A whole souled Irishman
    No bribes could ere reduce you, Dan
    To sell your country
    Ah! well may Erin weep today
    For poor Dan Herlihy.
