A Local Song (continued)
“It was on the 2nd of April”
(continued from previous page)He shed tears of brotherly love
And sent his prayers for both their souls
Into the heavens above.
The above song was composed by the late Mr. Finnegan and a few other learned men of the locality. It was composed to commemorate their heroic incident of 1881.
