   I fired at him a second time and pierced him through the heart.
   I gave to him a third volley which made him soon depart.
   Mars Carey she came running down to the cabin where he lay
   And when she saw him lying in his gore
   She trembled with dismay.
   "O'Donnell you shot my husband," Mrs Carey loudly cried.
   "I shot him in my own defence, kind madam," I replied.

   The captain got me arrested and in irons firmly bound,
   And I was ekpt a prisoner till I was landed in Capetown.
   They brought me forth to London my trial for to stand,
   And the prosecuters for the crown were Carey's wife and sons.
   And now if I was a free man and to live for another year
   All traitors and informers I'd make them shake with fear.

   Like St Patrick drove the serpents from our sainted Irish ground
   I'd make them fly before me like the hare before the hounds.

   Farewell to you sweet Donegal that place where I was born.
   Unto the United States that was never known for scorn
   And to poor dear old Granuaile, her hills and valleys green.
   For never more on Erin's shore O'Donnell will be seen.
