    (continued from previous page)
    You've mached 'neath victorys glow
    Your worthy sons of fathers bold
    Who fought at famed Coolroe
    Your deeds to day will be retold
    At many a fireside gay
    For years to come by young and old
    Brave Gusserane boys hurrah
    Chorus
    iv
    Oh come light up the bonfires bright
    On hills and valleys green
    In Tintern's merry homes to night
    Let signs of joy be seen
    Her sons have proved their prowess well
    With colours flying alway
    For one and all let us sing
    Brave Gusserane Boys Hurrah
    Chorus
    v
    Oh captain Hanlon swift and shure
    Our praise we must bestow
    Jim Colfer's strength can well endure
    The rush of every foe
    And Fowler with his shot so neat
    Did mighty work that day
    When Davidstown met their defeat
    Brave Gusserane boys hurrah
    (Chorus)
