| lyric | My name is George Campbell; at the age of eighteen
I joined the united men to strive for the green.
And many a battle I did undergo,
with that hero commander brave General Munroe.
Have you heard of the Battle of Ballinahinch
Where the people oppressed rose up in defence
When Munroe left the mountains his men took the field,
And they fought for twelve hours and never did yield.
Munroe being tired and in want of a sleep,
Gave a woman ten guineas his secret to keep.
But when she got the money the devil tempted her so
That she sent for the soldiers and surrendered Munroe. |
