And Sarsfield is the man
Here we are our general cried
And down on them we ran
For God he cleared the firmament
The moon & stars shone bright
'Twas for the battle of they Boyne
We had revenge that night.5.
And when we had them all killed
And bleeding in their gore.
'Twas then we took their arms.

We placed them beneath the castle walls
And set our fires nigh

And blew them in the sky.6.

And many a helllth was drank to him
In Limerick town next day.
Another health to Sarsfield
Who led us one and all.
And burst that big gun Sheila Dhuidhe
