Ballinrobe to Killala from Swinford to Balla Newport and Cong and down Castlebar Ballyhaunis, Belmullet, Tourmakeady, God love it from the whole land whose great men are known near and far So boys cling together in all kinds of weather show the white feather wherever you go be like a brother and help one another like the true hearted men from the County Mayo |
