  1. (continued from previous page)
    And the Leader of forty felt nervous,
    And tapped with his gun on the ground
    XV
    And thus went the parley till even
    began to fall down on the glen,
    And the priest thought a matron were better
    To be'mid such wild bearded men
    XVI
    They were wedded "To horse" cried the Leader
    And the bridal pair led the hot flight
    And away rode Dwyer, the outlaw
    To his mountain cave back in the night
    I heard the words of this song from my father who heard a very old man sing it - Mr. Dan. Byrne.
