    (continued from previous page)
    Some on [?] field
    Faced shot and shell and bravely fell
    Their adopted flag to shield
    When childhood's days & boyhood's years
    Are ripening into prime
    To seek a better livelihood
    I'm forced for to resign
    Your heathclad sides which often times
    In pleasure I roved on,
    My paths to trace thro' prarie wastes
    Oh lov'd old Slievenamon!
    When I'm beneath the Stars & Stripes
    In the "Land of Liberty"
    Where labour is rewarded and
    Trade grows flourishingly
    I'll work and pray that freedom may
    Soon cast its rays [?]
    Your caves and raths & craggy paths
    Oh lov'd old Slievenamon
