Fellow mudcatter AndreasW and I are making a collaborative (actually he does nearly all of the work with a little help from me) effort to transcribe most if not all of the 50 Irish Rebel Songs on the eponymous CD. You'll profit from that enterprise later. Many of the songs have names in them. Often it's possible to get them correct (the ten hungerstrikers, the three shot in Gibraltar, etc.), for the event described is covered some place on the net. But there's one song with too many misses and we need help from someone having the cultural background to know the names. Here's the relevant bit of the song
Ireland's fight for freedom (my comments in parentheses)

We (= the North) gave to Ireland Noin Rowe (???)
we gave them Shane O'Neill (a 16. century Ulster chieftain?)
and Thomas Cathill/Cahill (the writer?) made a vow
that England still would yield.
May Calvey?? (or: McElwee, the hungerstriker??) did not die in vain
he was a northern gale.

McCracken (a 1798 rebel) came from Belfast town
McCauley/McAuley/McCauly (??) from the Bann,
and brave Henry Monroe at Ballinahinch (1798)
fought for his native land
Tom Williams died on scaffolds high
his name shall never fail.
