  1. Local Songs (continued)

    Heark ye the sound of the enemy is coming

    (continued from previous page)
    Tobacco, and whiskey, pots, kettles and pans
    For the old Volunteers had their rifle in order
    The old Volunteer were so volunt and true
    O how the Tans fled in helish disorder
    With retreat to the warcry
    Clonbroney Abú.
