    That overlook us all
    O gracious Queen when I did see
    What Lawlor did command
    He would never fail to grant repeal
    To Grainnia's noble sons

    He was always inclined to help the blind
    The hungry for to feed
    Likewise to clothe the naked
    All in their time of need
    His praises great for to relate
    I now employ my quill
    Is that noble Francis Lawlor
    From the shades of Cloverhill

    Long life to Killavana boys
    T'was on us they did wave
    Likewise to Killabanrick

    To free brave Francis Lawlor
    From these persecuted laws
