<p style="text-align: center;">HOW ALLMAN FELL</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I'm dying, said a warrior bold, for my dear native land,<br></br>I'm dying, gallant comrade, let me grasp your hero-hand,<br></br>This day at Headford Junction, you've proved yourself to be<br></br>A model of the faithful band, in the fight for liberty</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">A flask of Holy Water, in my pocket you will find,<br></br>The only thing I brought from home, when I left all behind,<br></br>Sprinkle o'er my body,…</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">HOW ALLMAN FELL</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I'm dying, said a warrior bold, for my dear native land,<br/>I'm dying, gallant comrade, let me grasp your hero-hand,<br/>This day at Headford Junction, you've proved yourself to be<br/>A model of the faithful band, in the fight for liberty</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">A flask of Holy Water, in my pocket you will find,<br/>The only thing I brought from home, when I left all behind,<br/>Sprinkle o'er my body, then my spirit shall be free,<br/>And tell them all how Allman fell, in the fight for liberty</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">The long sought hour has come at last, I dreamt of o'er and o'er<br/>I knew that fate ordained that I should share my country's gore<br/>Your rights, Dark Rosaleen, I loved, your wrongs I vowed they'd rue<br/>I face the Throne of Mercy now, my duty's done to you</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Across that fence Jim Baily lies, but 'ere the twilight's fall,<br/>At Heaven's gate we both shall wait, the dread Tribunal's call,<br/>"The greater love that no man hath," shall be the angel's plea,<br/>They stood to save their fellow-man, they died their land to free.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Adn still the din of battle rings, my column lads are true,<br/>I leave their fate and guiding now, to Tommy Mac and you,<br/>I bid you ne'er to mourn the fate, or pause at Allman's name,<br/>'Till you have helped to raise the cry, A Nation Once Again.</p>
