Song (continued)
“Come all you men of Cavan, Assemble at the moare of Castlevahan”
(continued from previous page)Cornakill forged their pikes for to free
Enagh Cormeen and Killcully,
Virginia and Oldcastle too,
Kilnaleck from Crosskeys and Cavan,
Come heroes so loyal and true.
When old Ireland required their Assistance,
From their colours they would never renage,
But shoved their determined resistance
True sons of the National league,
Now to conclude and finish my oration.
I intend for to leave down my pen,
And never throughout a Nation,
Has Ireland produced such good men.
When Joe Bigger, Tim Healy and Sexton,
In parliament house will be seen
Those brave men from our own Country
To battle for Erin the green.
