    Share Share Post
    The shooting of Mr Bell composed by Owen O Burke, Drumacon, Belturbet.
    It was in sweet Milltown that we sat down against tirades to conspire
    The very first toast was a health to Molly Maguire.
    Says Molly to her sons what tirade shall we tumble.
    There is one Bell an imp of hell a magistrate in station.
    So let lots be drew so which of you will hurl him to Damnation.
