    I'm sorry your poor comrades
    Must share in your sad fate
    His arm it was broken
    and his skull it was smashed in
    Oh let us take and drown him
    Said Rory to his men.
    Into a pool of water his lifeless body threw
    - - -

    Opening lines of another song on the same sulyect
    Upi men of Leibram have you heard from Donegal
    Where Rory and his gallant men
    Caused Lord Leitrain's sad downfall
