    Because he was a fenian boy
    And fought for Liberty
    IV
    Oer the grave where Peter Crowley lies
    The grass is growing keen,
    And underneath Poor Peter sleeps
    Because he loved the green,
    Oer his grave the Shamrock grows,
    The Emerald Green likewise
    And say a prayer as you pass by
    For it's here young Crowley lies
    V
    Now fare thee well young Crowley
    Fare thee well I saw
    But don't forget on that same grave,
    Your Poor Old father lay
    It grieves my heart to see you there
    A hero once in bloom
    But then you died a rebel
    And fills that silent tomb
