- The Rebels Of Knockanure.
Our hero boys they were brave and true.
No counsel did they take.
'Till they wandered to that lonely spot.
Where the Black and Tans do lay.
But freedom bold they did uphold.
Torture they did endure.
'Till it came to their lot, that day to be shot.
In the valley of Knockanure.
In Gortha Glana's shade of glens.
Our Sinn Fein boys took shade
Waiting for their own dispatch.
Before they would make a raid.
It was not long until Lyons came.
And saying time is not mine nor your.
By the Black and Tans our lives were ran.
In the valley of Knockanure.
When our boys had no escape to make.
There is one thing they did secure.
Their souls were free to meet their God.(continues on next page)- Collector
