    I
    You feeling Christians one and all
    Come Listen unto me
    It's of an execution that happened in Tralee
    How Poff and Barrett met their doom
    May heaven be heir bed
    In their dying declarations
    These are the words they said
    II
    James Barrett said:- I do declare
    Before my God and judge
    I never injured Thomas Browne nor owed him any grudge
    I was not in the field that day
    The fatal shot was fired
    Nor ever heard the deed was done
    Till after he expired
