- Tell me, tell me, Captain Gollard
Where the victims are to be,
Is it near Tim Quinlan's castle
So well known to you and me.
Hush my bailiffs, hush and listen
That I cannot let you knowBe ready with your wits my boy
When you get the word to go
Will the police and the soldiers
And the Gold stream guard come through
Will they protect and guard us
I mean myself and you.O yes, our glorious army
Who failed to crush the boards
Are coming to New Pallas now,
To crush the trees and fortsA tree and fort, how are you,
There is no such thing at all
For instead of trees and forts
'Twas that Land League that did it all.
