    “About thirty year ago in the time of the Land-League, there lived an emergencyman in Ballinaglera named Tom Brady.”

    They are bottling up Tom Brady".
    Chorus
    Then shout hurrah! on every hill.
    And blow your horns lour, and shrill
    To yield we never never will.
    Until we conquer Brady.
    And the old man cried,
    "Och wirrastrue."
    When he heard his old Dun cow
    to low.
    "Do you mind the day
    he seized on you.?
    "And walked you off at leisure."
    "My parents lips he parched"
    them dry,"
    "My baby boy began to cry"
    "Ah" little he cred we all
    would die"
    The day he made that seizure.
    When death some day
    will saunter round.
