   hooked up the hound and gave a bound says Crossagh "Yes I know"!
   And with a start they both rushed out and they have leapt the Roe
   And they have leaped the Roe, boys, and they have leaped the Roe,
   In Ballynascreen will yet be seen the man who leaped the Roe.

   (6)
   "A good leap" cried the Squire, who saw the game was done,
   "Not great" replied the outlaw, for such a length of run,
   But mark me, Squire Staples, when we shall meet again,
   You'll wish the river Roe between Shane Crossagh and your men."

   (7)
   The Squire and his yeomen are passing towards Glenshane,
   Right weary and dejected, their chase was all in vain,
   Their chase was all in vain, boys, their chase was all in vain.
   But faith! I'll ween they'll meet the green (before) before they pass Glenshane.

   (8)
   Old Feeney bridge is broken, but on its arch is seen,
   To them a fearful token - a branch of holly green,
   Next instant, from a grey-rock a whistling bullet sped,
   And Torrens, the informer, fell from his charger dead.

   (9)
   Then up the heathery mountain, and down the rushy glen,
   Is heard the cry of vengeance the shout of armed men,
   The shouts of armed men, boys, the shouts of armed men,
   And one is seen all dressed in green, 'tis Crossagh back again.
