Banna Strand The Wolfe Tones

'Twas on Good Friday morning
All in the month of May
A German ship was signalling
Beyond out in the bay
With twenty thousand rifles
All ready for to land
But no answering signal did come from
The lonely Banna Strand

"No signal answers from the shore,"
Sir Roger sadly said
"No comrades here to meet me
Alas, they must be dead
But I must do my duty
And at once I mean to land"
So in a small boat pulled ashore
On the lonely Banna Strand

Now, the RIC were hunting for
Sir Roger high and low
They found him at McKenna's Fort
Said they, "You are our foe"
Said he, "I'm Roger Casement
I came to my native land
I mean to free my countrymen
On the lonely Banna Strand"
