Boys of Kilmichael

On the twentieth day of November,

the day that the tans left Macroom.

they were loaded in two crossley tenders

not knowing that they'd meet their doom

But when they came to Kilmichael

they suddnely came to a stop

For they met with the boys of the column

Who made a clean sweep of the lot.

Then over the hills went the echo

the peal of the rifle and gun

The flames from the lorries gave tidings

That the boys from Kilmichael had won.

So here's to the boys of Kilmichael

Those brave lads so gallant and true

Who fought 'neath the green flag of Erin

And conquered the red, white and blue.
