- (continued from previous page)But the grandest of sights that you ever did see,
Are the the homes of the poor in Castletown-G
Kilbeggan has many a ready recruit,
Father Quinn from Killucan counts many,
Mullingar has a brilliant young leader in Tute,
And Castletown Geoghegan has Kenny,
A hero well known from Athboy to Athlone,
Who is honoured by soldiers and seamen,
For his valorous deeds.
When to battle he leads,
The conquering Castletown - G - Men.
III
And out from beneath,
The flag of Westmeath
Fighting on to be happy and freemen,
For we hear ringing out,
The heart ringing shout,
Of the conquering Castletown - G - Men.- Collector
