- Come all ye worthy sons of toil and listen to my song
I'll sing for you a verse or two and
won't detain you long
I mean those worthy labourers who
work for scanty pay
How they were disappointed at the
Boardroom of Roscrea.On the 14th day of April 1894
We went there to assert our rights
our numbers were three score
We went to meet the Guardians and
hear what they would say
About our plots and Cottages at the
Union of Roscrea. When we reached the Union regardless of our foes
We met some filthy farmers who did our claims oppose
They trailed us there from Shanakill
and Clonmore all the way
To trample on the Labourers acts at the Union of Roscrea.(continues on next page)- Collector
