    Come all you loyal members
    Pay attention now I crave
    Right well do I remember
    Those words Im going to say.
    Im her in close Confinement
    With no hopes of liberty
    I am condemned to die for treason
    Against her Majesty

    I was in Collins I was taken
    On the third day of June
    The Drogheda Guards conveyed me
    To where I received my doom
    I been in expectation that the
    Speaker would see me
    Till I received my sentence
    By Dan Kellys perjury

    'Twas when I heard my sentence
    Passed in the jail where I lay
    I had not got one moment
    But one hour for to pray
    It was with a feeble trembling heart
    My Book I took in hand
    And the tears came trickling down my cheeks
