  1. (continued from previous page)
    For there he kneels encased in steel prepared for duty's call
    For to assail and drive to jail our clergy from Grousehall.
    V11
    Down into hell he'll run pell-mell to seek for poteen there.
    And won't be loath to swear an oath 'twas found in Kilenkere,
    Thank God the day 'snot far away when home rule will be seen
    And Balfours pack will get the sack and Jemmie from Grousehall.

    Old and Young Cheer Up Your Lungs...

    Old and young cheer up your lungs and sing this little song,
    In hopes that he'll be banished and that before its long
    For while I live a prayer I'll give and that for his downfall
    And when I die I don't deny I'll haunt him round Grousehall.
