   That have been led astray
   And listen to this dreadful tale
   Upon my dying day.
   It was by cursed temptation

   I am condemned with grief and shame
   To die on the gallow’s tree.
   My name is Patrick Power
   Near Wexford I was from
   I attain the age of twenty years
   I die in public scorn.
   I broke the laws of God and man
   For which I must now die
   My father’s bloody vengeance
   To heaven loud does cry.

   I courted as you’ll hear
   I often robbed my father for
   To spend it on my dear.

   Though the bloody deed I done
   I thought own my father’s farm
   I been the eldest son
   On the fourteenth of October
   I watched him coming home
