The Vow of Tipperary by Thomas Osborne Davis
Only one more track to finish for the Return to Tipperary album.
I found this song while researching the famous Slievenamon poem. It doesn't seem to have been set to music before.
The thumbnail lithograph is of the United Irish Patriots of 1798:

Thomas was writing some 40 years later, but was inspired by the ideas of this group. Key to his ideas was a making Irish the language of a united Ireland.
According to Wikipedia, Thomas was born in Cork and lived in Dublin and doesn't seem to have any association with Tipperary.
