They belong to the blessings of nature
The truthunto you I'll make known
Kind smiles will adorn every feature
In a cottage and plot of his own.
VII
Many's the journey I've travelled
From Kilavanouge to Roscrea
In pursuit of a cottage and acre
To hear what the Guardians would say.
VIII
At last they agred and consented
Full justice to me they have shown
They gave me a cot and a plot
And now I can call them my own.
VIIII
Long life and success to these heroes
Who fought for our rights at the Board
May they flourish and roll in full splendour
And their prasies in song be encored.
X
To sound all their names would be weary
Their actions to you I've made known
They're a credit to gallant Tipperary
They gave us grand homes of our own.
