    The Manchester Martyrs
    Allen, Larkin, & OBrien
    Come all you gents of every town, that every heard the story.
    About those three of high renown who died for Ireland's glory
    About those three, who cruelly, were martyred for no reason,
    But just to love their country, and that was deemed high treason
    They died upon the gallows tree, on a lonely winter's day.
    They died not in their country, but on an alien shore away,
    They died for faith and freedom, and they kept that till the last
    For God and for their country, mid the tyrant whirling blast.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
