An Old Song (continued)
“My name is Patrick O'Donnell and I come from Donegal”

And pierced him thro' the heart,
And I gave him a third volley, boys
Before he did depart.His wife and son came running down
To the cabin where he lay
And when they saw him in his gore
It filled them with dismay
"O Donnell you shot my husband"
Mrs Carey loud did cry
"Oh yes, I did, in my own defence,

And in irons strongly bound
And gave me up as a prisoner
