It was on some cases of evictions, his Lordship down did go
Not thinking for a moment that he would meet his overthrow.
Or that men would lie in ambush on him to wait.

They lay under cover beneath the trees of Gorton wood
They fired at Lord Leitrim, not many words were spoken
His head was bruised and fractured and, one of his arms broken

Kind hearted to his tenants and loved by one and all
And for his loss they mourned when death did on him call.
