    “My name is Patrick O'Donnell and I come from Donegal”

    (continued from previous page)
    Where I ne'er was held in scorn.
    So fare thee well to Erin's isle
    Its hills and valley's green
    For nevermore on Erin's shore,
    O'Donnell you'll be seen.
    Adieu! Adieu! a long farewell
    This is my parting day
    I hear the death bell tolling now
    Good Christians for me pray
    Until the Blessed Virgin, when on
    bended knees you fall.
    For the soul of Patrick O Donnell
    From the County Donegal.
    Composed by P. O'Donnell while awaiting execution in London.
    Sung by
    Patrick Donaher
