    (continued from previous page)
    He is still alive O God of war
    Protect our hero brave
    Or must our gallant Teeling find
    So soon a soldier's grave
    And from each heart the cry is raised
    He cleaves the whistling air
    And in the Irish ranks once more
    He reins his gallant mare.
    Three cheers for Ireland and for France
    And one for liberty
    No more the scarlet line advance7
    They turn, break and flee
    They left their wounded and their slain
    The battle plains, upon
    The green in triumph waves once more
    Old Carricknagat is won.
