    butchers dream they'd never
    fight again
    Cranford, Collgreaney
    Courtown and Monaseed
    Can tell a dismal story
    of many a bloody deed
    But the sword of the
    avenger very soon shall
    fall
    For the gallant Myles Byrne
    awaits them
    there behind Ballyellis wall.
    Gaily the red banner
    salutes the morning sun
    Like hunted hares ere
    night-fall those
    Yeomenry shall run
    The haughty English
    ensign shall sink
    in sore defeat.
