    lived in Skibbereen, and he was also born in the beginning of the eighteenth century. He was the author of "Judy Andy." She was a poor woman who died in the famine times and O'Donovan helped to bury her as an act of charity.
    He was a poet, a Fenian, and an author and gave the best part of his life in gaol for the freedom of Ireland. He wrote all his songs about the misrule of Ireland, by the English Government. He died in New York and was brought back to Ireland and was buried in Glasnevin, Dublin.
    The Felons of our Land.

    Cheer up once more, we'll drink a toast,
    To comrades far away.
    No nation upon earth can boast, of braver hearts than they.
    And though they slept in dungeons deep, or flee outlawed and banned.
    We love them yet, we can't forget, The Felons of our Land.
