    The Mayo Conspiracy

    In Crossmolina we were brought up,
    Six heroes of great fame,
    True sons of dear old Granuaile
    Who did adore the name,
    To join the Fenian Brotherhood,
    Bad landlord’s to destroy,
    And its now our hearts are breaking,
    In the prison of Mountjoy.

    There is a great informer,
    And Coleman is his name,
    A disgrace to all his countrymen,
    And his friends they are all the same,
    He strained his nerves both night and day,
    And was made a public show,
    On the swearing of his countrymen,
    In the County of Mayo.
