   I
   You boys of the shamrock, come, listen to me,
   I'll sing you a few verses both cheerful and free.
   I am a suspected moon-lighter, locked up in my cell,
   Where I am now undaunted, quiet boldly I'll tell.
   II
   On the 12th night of March, in the year '82
   The night boys went rambling, the rent books to view
   Being determined and loyal without fear or dread,
   Well armed with rifles, with powder an lead.
   III
   They entered the house, of one Lesley we hear,
   There fired a few volleys which caused them great fear.
   They gave them a warning, before that they went,
   Until Parnell was free not to pay any rent.
   IV
   The Police being in patrol, that very same night,
   They heard the shot firing they got a great fright.
   "Saying the moon-lighters are near us without a mistake,
   If we go t give battle I fear we'll be beat."
   V
   The police went searching the houses all round,
   In hopes to find arms, but none could be found.
   And very soon after five neighbouring men,
   Were arrested at midnight by "Murray and Quinn".
