   The Affray of Graughill

   1.
   Lord of heaven, oh Lord of Earth,
   O Lord of air and sky,
   With pity look on our country men,
   Who in prison chains do lie.
   The true sons of our motherland.
   In grief do suffer pore,
   Trying to uphold the cause,
   In Erins lovely shore.

   2.
   Oh brother dear did you hear,
   What happened here below,
   In the Baroney of Erris
   At Inuer in Mayo.
   The recorded serge of Sebostbool was nothing,
   When compared to those unmerciful constablary,
   Who said no lives to spare.

   3.
   Amongst them was a woman
   Who was feeble grey and old,
   With her three darling sons.
   Whose hearts were stout and bold
   The mother she been pierced with (?)
   Her sons been dragged away
   To rest within the prison walls.
