Hi Jack, Shay still sings with the same passion now as back then. That was the Battering Ram's only recording & as I mentioned Rounder has seen fit to rerelease it. The verse you're looking for was written by Shay's brother-in-law Sean Humston.

May Gog reward those gallant men, may heaven be their home
T'was in Brookborough Town where they got shot down, in a cabin they lay cold
They never feared the RUC or "B" men on patrol
O'Hanlon from the border & South from Garryowen
