    (continued from previous page)
    Twelve steel clad warriors was
    slain on that day.
    But the gallant brave warrior
    that day had no cannon,
    He died for old Ireland on the
    Bridge of Finea.

    So fill up your of pure Finea
    water,
    And drink to an exile far far
    away,
    But when we get home lads,
    I hope you'll return to honor
    the slashes on the
    Bridge of Finea
