This is very belated and its very rough but here's a try
The Brave Unitedmen
(written by Paddy McGuigan)
(Spoken) The year 1798, the eve of the Battle of Antrim. A time when Christian men united for the Rights of Man
By the harbour wall in sweet Glen (Alley??)
The trembling (part we played the hand??)
But neither would we fix my (bind??)
Til Ireland saw the rights of man
Then came the (traitor two and bands??)
The cruel attack of great bar glen
We joined the few that made the van
We’ll be the brave United Men
And the fox and the hares
Sprang from their lair
And every creature in the glen
And the wild woods rang
As the songbirds sang
Hurra the brave united men,
Hurra the brave united men,
Every maiden’s prayer that the morning air
A shining light behind with pride
And the sun shone fair to my darling’s hair
As she watched me by my father’s side
And my mother's cry: Son I fear you'll die,
but still you are your father’s boy
And now they say, we make you stay
So here’s a kiss fort Henry Joy
And the fox and the hares
Sprang from their lair
And every creature in the glen
And the wild woods rang
As the songbirds sang
Hurra the brave united men,
Hurra the brave united men,
And from the Glen came Antrims' men
Our banners flew white orange and green....
With Henry Joy’s United Men
we swept from (/// to do the due??)
But on Antrim’s plain and on mountain (plain??)
My darling guide me to the glen
Now (in be fair??) I wonder where
I hear the cry United Men
And the fox and the hares
Sprang from their lair
And every creature in the glen
And the wild woods rang
As the songbirds sang
Hurra the brave united men,
Hurra the brave united men,
And the fox and the hares
Sprang from their lair
And every creature in the glen
And the wild woods rang
As the songbirds sang
