    John Browne of Crinaloo sings the following song:-
    O'Donavan Rossa.
    Farewell to friends of Dublin town
    I bid you all adieu,
    I cannot yet appoint a day
    When I will return to you
    I write you these few lines
    From our ship as billows roar
    May heaven bless our Fenian men
    Till I return once more.
    II
    I've robbed no man or spilt no blood
    Still they sent me off to jail
    Because I was O'Donavan Rossa
