| [00:10.34] | In the year of one thousand seven hundred and ninety eight |
| [00:17.50] | A sorrowful tale the truth unto you I’ll relate |
| [00:25.05] | Thirty-six heroes to the world they were left to be seen 36 |
| [00:31.94] | By a false information they were shot on Dunlavin Green. |
| [00:39.57] | |
| [00:41.37] | Bad luck to you Saunders, for you did their lives betray. |
| [00:47.25] | You said a parade would be held on that very same day. |
| [00:54.98] | Drums they did rattle – our fifes they did sweetly play. |
| [01:01.98] | Surrounded we were and privately marched away. |
| [01:11.88] | Quite easy they led us like prisoners through the town |
| [01:18.28] | To be shot on the plain, we first were forced to kneel down. |
| [01:25.47] | Such grief and such sorrow were never before there seen |
| [01:32.89] | When the blood ran in streams down the dykes of Dunlavin Green. |
| [01:40.54] | |
| [01:43.18] | There is young Matty Farrell who has plenty of cause to complain |
| [01:50.94] | Likewise the two Duffys who were shot down upon the plain |
| [01:57.18] | Young Andy Ryan, his mother distracted will run |
| [02:04.70] | For the loss of her darling, her only beloved son. |
| [02:12.64] | |
| [02:41.17] | Some of our boys to the hills they are going away |
| [02:49.35] | Some of them are shot and more of them going to sea |
| [02:56.61] | Mickey Dwyer in the mountains to Saunders he owes a spleen |
| [03:04.24] | For the loss of his brothers who were shot on Dunlavin Green |
| [03:11.03] | |
| [03:13.30] | Bad luck to you, Saunders, bad luck may you never shun! |
| [03:19.23] | May the widow’s curse melt you like the snow in noonday sun |
| [03:26.65] | The cries of the orphans their murmurs you cannot screen |
| [03:34.33] | For the loss of their fathers who were shot on Dunlavin Green |
| [03:42.19] | |
| [03:45.77] | In the year of one thousand seven hundred and ninety eight |
| [03:51.78] | A sorrowful tale the truth unto you I’ll relate |
| [03:59.54] | Thirty-six heroes to the world they were left to be seen 36 |
| [04:06.49] | By a false information they were shot on Dunlavin Green |
