    For Cully took the shovel
    And Garry took the hack
    Evans took the crowd bar and sink it to the back
    Tom Boyle did follow after
    Just like the old Brigade
    While Larkin he was digging with
    a hell of a big long spade
    Bedad you know said Melligan
    You know the job looks tall
    Bedad said Andy Sheridam
    We will sink it to the wall.
