The Battle Of Garvagh

The day before the july fair The ribbonmen they did prepare For three miles round to wreck and tear And burn the town of Garvagh The Tory whistles loud and shrill We heard it over the high Mourne Hill Come on, dear boys, well slay and kill The Protestants in Garvagh The day came on they did repair in multitudes to Garvagh Fair Some traveled thirty miles and more To burn the town of Garvagh They all appeared in greatest haste White handkerchiefs tied round their wastes But their jackets we did soundly baste That july fair in Garvagh To Coleraine straightaway we went For aid but none to us they sent This bloody crew all to prevent From their design on Garvagh To Provines then we quick applied For aid which he soon us denied Saying longest stands the thougest hide I'll find no aid for Garvagh The Protestants and Orangemen Like brothers did assemble then To keep the town was their design Or die like men in Garvagh We fired blank shots of no avail The Orange balls they flew like hail While ribbonmen soon turned their tail With deadly wounds from Garvagh Then Captain Douay cried, dear boys Maintain your cause and fear no noise We'll massacre these Orange boys And burn the town of Garvagh With foreign oaths against us swore Such swearing you ne'er heard before McCluskey swore three hours of more Against the Boys of Garvagh The Judge then he would us condemn Had it not been for our jurrymen Our grateful thanks are due to them For saving the Boys of Garvagh
