    Till at Crossbarry's bloody rout
    They woke from their day dreaming
    (they woke from their day dreaming)
    Though ten to one they were that day
    Our boys were victors in the fray,
    And over the hills we marched away
    With bagpipes merrily screaming.

    The piper played at martial air
    For gallant boys who congured there
    No merry line to banish care
    Or mournful or solemn
    The grander time of all is played
    By the fighting squad of the 3rd brigade
    Whole glorious deeds will never fade
    The men of Barry's Column.
