THE FERRETS OF KILDARE On the escape of the Irish Prisoners from the Curragh Camp September 1921 Air Boys of Wexford. Now all you lads an' lassies Come listen to my song Tis about some Irish Prisoners I wont detain you long, 'Twas way down in the Curragh Camp Most Truly I declare, Right underground, they freedom found The Ferrets of Kildare. Chorus 'Twas way down in the Curragh Camp Most truly I declare Right underground they freedom found, The Ferrets of Kildare. Sure many days an' nights they worked The tunnel to cut through, No one complained or ever shirked For there was work to do. The secret It was guarded well By each man working there, An' victory crowned the labours of The Ferrets of Kildare. The Curragh Camp is in a stew, No Prisoners could they find The Major swore at everyone An' said "now strike me blind, Go make a search all through the camp The fields, or anywhere, An' see if anyone can find The Ferrets of Kildare". So high an' low they searched around But it was all in vain, The "Ferrets" have got safely through And wont return again Its hard to keep the Irish down As England's well aware, So here's a "Slainte Agut" to The Ferret's of Kildare.

THE SONG OF The Legion of the Rear-Guard. THE NEW RALLYING SONG OF THE REPUBLIC. :: INSPIRED BY PRESIDENT DE VALERA Written and Composed in Hare Park Camp by Jack O'Sheehan. Sung by Miss Molly Foley. (NOTE :-This song should be sung to good march time) Lurid the morning with flame and shot and shell. Now rally, Ireland, the sons who love you well. Pledged they'll defend you though death or prison cell Wait for the Soldiers of the Rear-Guard. Up the Republic ! They raise their battle cry. Pearse, Clarke, MacDermott will pray for them on high. Eager and ready for love of you to die, Proud march the Soldiers of the Rear-Guard. CHORUS. Legion of the Rear-Guard, answering Ireland's call. Hark ! their martial tramp is heard from Cork to Donegal. Tone and Emmet guide you. Though your task be hard De Valera leads you ! Soldiers of the Legion of the Rear-Guard. Street, hillside, valley,—they send their sons along. Plough, office, workshop,—a score of thousands strong. Spirit of Brian ! They come with joyous song. Fearless, the Soldiers of the Rear-Guard. Cork, Kerry, Wexford, Tipperary, Clare. Galway to Dublin—Tirconaill to Kildare. None shall be missing—all Ireland shall be there. True Gaels, the Soldiers of the Rear-Guard. Crimsoned the roadside, the prison-wall, the cave. Proof of their valour, Go, sleep in peace, ye brave ! Comrade, tread lightly. You're near a hero's grave. There lies a Soldier of the Rear-Guard. Shell-shattered fortress and shot-scarred barricade Trumpet the story of the gallant fight they made. Weary, outnumbered, undaunted, undismayed. God Bless the Soldiers of the Rear-Guard.
