    I
    As I roved out one evening
    It was in the month of June
    I strolled into an old churchyard
    For to view a new built tomb
    I overheard an old man say
    As the tears fell from his eyes
    Its underneath the tall green shade
    Poor Peter Crowley lies

    Come tell me of young Crowley
    Come tell me if you could,
    Who went one night along with him
    To Cill Clooney's lonely wood,
    Who stood beside that tall old oak,
    Who fired the signal gun,
    Who fought and died for Eire's right
    Bill Crowley's only son
    III
    The hand that fired the signal gun
    Is marked down Clanna Gaedhil
    For many a mile we shouldered him
    Through many a rugged dale
    But lifeless cold Poor Peter lay
    A stóirín Geal mo chroidhe
