- Attend ye gallant Irishmen this day in Longford
In your thousands now assemble
To obey the bold command
Around the country every man
That tills a perch of land
And all round Granard too
Those heroes of renown
We'll meet the brave Ballymahon boys
Along with Edgeworthstown.
While bands and runners in the breeze
It will be a glorious sight
Old Ireland for the Irishmen
Hurrah for tenant right
II
The Almighty Hand did make the land
For the letters of the soil
So here today it is now we ill say
We'll keep our own green isle
Its only vain for to complain
No more we 'ill sigh or moan
For what we want we 'ill have to get
Its first we 'ill hold our own
Its now we 'ill hold our harvest(continues on next page)- Collector
