    As I hear the people say,
    But he never dreamed that ribbon men
    Would shoot him on the way.
    111
    At nine o'clock that morning these heroes
    Did agree to shoot the earl of Leitrim,
    Tho' hanged they should be,

    And soon got on their way
    Till they reached their boat at Cractla wood,
    And there in ambush lay.
