- (continued from previous page)T'was then they retreated and lost their adress
And too of their lorries came through Kilnagress.
When they were coming the road they met with a nut.
They met at the forge a man over six foot
They told him to get up and let out the wee mare
They told him to take a seat there
He was not obeying them when they all made a rush
Saying get into the lorry for we fear another ambush.
The went on the road and they man wanted to get down
The old Sergeant looked at him with an angry frown
Sent over from England a man called Leoyd George.
Hurrah! for these brave lad's that were on the run
The bravest lad's that ever handled a gun
They made the English tyrants roar
And they shot twenty Black and Tans at the foot of Sheemore- Informant
