    in Loughoona
    So now to conclude my sad tragedy
    We hope they are both crowned with glory
    No more shall the blackbirds be heard on your tree
    Or the nightingale sing so melodious
    No more shall the cuckoo be heard through the woods.
    Or the vales and valleys of Oona
    Since brave Murray took flight to the regions of light
    Far away from you lovely
    Loughoona
