    V
    In Youthful days, in manhood pride,
    By false Coercion laws,
    His freedom and his home forsake
    For holy Ireland's cause;
    The farmers' rights he fought with might
    By night and day of yore,
    And he saw shine bright the tenants' right
    The Landlords are no more.
    VI
    Alas, he sleeps, the humble chief
    In Kilgulane's lonely grave,
    The hero brave who fought his way
    To emancipate the slave
    His memory will be honoured and a monument will rise
    To tell the fame of Condon bold
    Who led The Mountain Boys.
