  1. Local Song - Peter Crowley's Grave

    Share Share Post
    It was on a Sunday morning between four
    and five o'clock.
    When the police and the soldiers round
    Killcluney woods did flock.
    The shots came from the soldiers in every degree.
    And Crowley and his comrades retired from tree to tree
    II
    He shot and wounded eighteen of them and
    never missed his mark.
    Till he met a severe bullet that pierced
    him through the heart.
    He ran down to the river bank in agony
    and pain
    And the soldiers followed after him and
    he fired on them again
