    (continued from previous page)
    He amongst the ferns did lie,
    While fast he bled upon the field;
    Nine wounds he did receive
    Before he scorned to yield.
    He lost his trigger finger -
    Shot off by a ball.
    So Willie and his comrades
    Were taken after all.
    Farewell to my dear wife
    And to my children three!
    Farewell to my aged parents
    Who shed tears of grief for me.

    Willie Brennan was a robber
    As I hear people say.
    He never robbed the poor man
    Upon the king's highway.
