Song (continued)
“You patriots from shore to shore, ¶ In every known land, ¶ I hope you'll pay attention ¶ To a simple country man.”
(continued from previous page)They steered their boat for Fanad again
And never feared a shock,
Some say their dwelling place is by the Corby Rock.If you were to see the police,
When they got the news that day
You's think it was the lunatic
from the asylum broke away.=============Some hundreds for the murderers were offered all around,
But thanks to kind providence their offers were in vain.
__________Said to be composed by a Michael McAteer of Carland who is long since dead.
