On RTE wireless, I recently came across another song on Napoleon, recorded by Frank Harte. The air is not unlike "Nell Flaherty's Drake"
and the words, as near as I can make them out, are:

Refrain:

On the shore we will stand where Napoleon will land,
For he is the hero we hope will be seen;
The bells of the chapel will resound a ditty
To welcome Napoleon to Erin the Green


"Too long I've been weeping
Where hedges are dreeping
With ***** ** ** ****
Or by wild mountain stream;
One night in my slumber
When I lay a-sleeping
Napoleon appeared unto me in a dream
Saying, "arise my brave friend(s)
From the clouds of destruction
That hung over Erin this many's a long year;
For religion ye've suffered
Such great shame and scorn,
But now for the future brave boys do not fear.

(Refrain)

Over hills and deep valleys
By mountains and alleys
The bells of the abbey so loudly will peal,
The ???????? ?will thunder
While we stand in wonder
To welcome a hero like Owen Roe O'Neill;
For if he was alive
He would welcome Napoleon,
And these are the words I am sure he would say;
"You're welcome to Ireland
With Cead Mile Failte
To raise up the Faith that will never decay."

(Refrain)

We fought well at Antrim
And likewise at Gorey
And waited in vain for the French to arrive;
But Boney set sail
With his army for Egypt
And never a thought to the Croppies he gave.
But if he should still come
We'll be there for to meet him
And all will be ready to join his command,
We'll march out like heroes
With Green banners flying
And Napoleon himself will be there in the van.

(Refrain).

The words in the first verse represented thus, **** *** &c sound a bit like,

"With strength in myself..." (?"my cell", i.e. a prisoner, just as "By wild mountain stream" suggests a fugitive).

Those in the second represented by ????? sound like,

"The Three-Ways will thunder"; is this somewhere in ?Dublin.

I'd be very grateful if anyone has either seen the words of this, or heard it more clearly than I. Incidentally, although I guess "alleys" might be an early Nineteenth-Century usage for "Avenues of trees" (thus expaining the peculiar parallel of this with the other locations mentioned), surely the line in the chorus
"The bells of the chapel/Will resound a ditty" (stress on first syllable of "REsound") is corrupt; the rhyme-pattern and the rather weak word "ditty" - unless it's a specifically military one - tend to suggest something like,
"Every bell in the city
Will resound a ditty..."
