   After the hanging of Poff and Barret, Earl Spencer, the Lord Lieutenant came on a visit to Castleisland and Patrick Kenny of Ballymacadam, who was chairman of the local Land League, went and shook hands with him and the following song was made for Kenny.

   
   My name is Patrick Kenny I'll never deny the same

   And near Castleisland I reside, that ancient place of fame

   Among my friends and neighbours I lived in high rnown

   Till Earl Spencer came one day scavenging through the town

   I did not go to speak to him twas he that spoke to me

   He passed me many compliments, his talk was frank and free

   But though his speech was quite polite and all his smiles were bland

   Twas wrong I know to meet him so and shake his gory hand.

   
   (II)

   Tis well I remember the moment that he spoke

   The honest men he doomed to death, the gallant hearts he broke

   The wicked crew he paid and hired to keep our land in thrall

   But yet by some unlucky chance I quite forgot it all.

   
   (III)

   The members of the Land League they tried me for the crime

   And from the post of Chairman dismissed me for a time

   But soon I hope they'll pardon me for well they ought to know

   I fought and suffered for the cause not very long ago.

   
   (IV)

   I'll take a trip in Dingle Bay, a Turkish bath in Cork
