On the 29th of July nineteen thirty four
It happened on a road leading to Cappamore
The tar was pilled at the quarry gate
Costing money to the State

When the 30th came sure excitement was high
With Guards on the scene, they being very sly
And when they had seen it, sure they set to work
With the case in the hands of Colemam Burke.

But the Guards didn't know where they'd begin
For John and Mick Leonard and young Cummins too
Faith to be sure remained loyal and true.

When called up were as firm as glue(continues on next page)
