  1. (continued from previous page)
    For in all the collections since the days of the Land League,
    The Mills men have freely paid down with a smile.
    In de Valera's collection they smashed all the records,
    Still keeping the Chapel in beautiful style.
    Mother of Charity pray for the Padre;
    Pray for his Curates and all of his flock.
    Good health to them all with a life of longevity.
    In their beautiful Chapel that stands on a rock.
    God save the fine Chapels in town and in country,
    Along by the valleys and over the hills.
    In painting and glazing their surely amazing,
    But the heart of the roll is O'Callaghan's Mills.
