    Song about the shooting of the Earl of Leitrim.
    Local song sung by Hugh McAlteer. Drumfad, Ballynashanig.
    Enteres:- 11th Nov. '38
    You patriots from shore to shore,
    In every known land,
    I hope you'll pay attention
    To a simple country man;
    It is my sole design to attract the mind
    If you heroes one and all,
    What happened to the earl of Leitrim
    In the Co. Donegal.
    11
    It was on the 2nd Day Apr. 1878
    From Manor Vaughan Castle
    Lord Leitrimm took his flight
    For the eviction courts in Dublin.
