- King's County BoysDraw near ye bold Kings Co. Boys long wrapped in misery
Arise and shake those rusty chains of English tyranny
No longer fear the tyrants might whilst the air of freedom blows
Home rule will smile around Erin's Isle in spite of all her foes
To hear the fife and rolling drums around John's Mall did sweetly play
Here come the bold King's Co Boys to join the national league.The orange men all hid from view, in silence did bewail.
Lord Ross all day in ambush lay he dare not wag his tail.
The elements seemed not content the planet's seemed to frown
Lord Rosses walls we made them shake that day in Parsonstown.(continues on next page)- Informant
