- (continued from previous page)To guide my slender quill
I array the claim,
To sound the praise,
Of the youths of sweet Redhills.
II
Cavan town of high renown
It's credits I'll enfold
Belturbet town and Clones
Their credits I'll uphold
And straight away through Ballybay
To Shercock and Cootehill,
My voice I'll raise
To sound the praise,
Of the youths of sweet Redhills
III
With grief I now recall to mind
Each well remembered scene
The harvest mirth,
The Xmas glee
And the dances on the green
The pleasant shades of Clovenhill,
Where the birds sing loud and shrill
And the girl with whom,
I used to rome
Around sporting sweet Redhlls.
