          Verse transcribed by Internee 1537, D Company, Hut 31, Patrick J. Daly (Tullamore, Offaly):

          'Lloyd George no doubt when his life ebbs out
          Will ride in a fiery chariot
          He will sit in state on a red hot plate
          'Twixt the Devil and Judas Iscariot
          Annanias that day to the Devil will say
          My Presidency here has failed
          So move up higher
          Away from the fire
          And make room for the liar from Wales.'

          Verse by Mícheál Ó Baoghaláin (Meath):

          'Wherever the forces of crown assemble
          Whether on land, or sea, or the air
          Strike them down O Lord
          Strike them down
          And may their bones be ground into manure
          And spread over the land to grow crops for the poor.'

          To cut the throat of those English dogs,
          That shot our Irish leaders'
