- (continued from previous page)For many an Irish Peeler,
But now the people claim their rights,
Too long have been denied them,
Their patience met with scant reward,
The land must be divided,
From north to south, from east to west,
The cries from all the branches,
Is "Drive the bullocks off the land
And then split up the ranches".
