1st Verse:  At Boulavogue as the sun was setting
            O'er bright May meadows of Shelmalier,
            A rebel hand set the heather blazing
            and brought the neighbours from far and near.
            Then Father Murphy from old Kilcormack
            Spurred up the rocks with a warning cry:
            'Arm! Arm!' he cried, 'For I've come to lead you;
            For Ireland's freedom we'll fight or die!'

 2nd Verse: He led us on 'gainst the coming soldiers,
            And the cowardly yeomen we put to flight:
            'Twas at the Harrow the boys of Wexford
            Showed Bookey's regiment how men could fight.
            Look out for hirelings, King George of England;
            Search every kingdom where breathes a slave,
            For Father Murphy of County Wexford
            Sweeps o'er the land like a mighty wave.

3rd Verse:  We took Camolin and Enniscorthy
            And Wexford storming drove out our foes
            'Twas at Slieve Coilte our pikes were reeking
            With the crimson blood of the beaten Yeos.
            At Tubberneering and Ballyellis
            Full many a Hessian lay in his gore,
            Ah! Father Murphy had aid come over
            The green flag floated from shore to shore!

4th Verse:  At Vinegar Hill, o'er the pleasant Slaney
            Our heroes vainly stood back to back,
            and the Yeos at Tullow took Father Murphy
            and burned his body upon a rack.
            God grant you glory, brave Father Murphy
            And open Heaven to all your men,
            The cause that called you may call tomorrow
            In another fight for the Green again.
