   My name is Pat O'Donnell, and I came from Donegal;
   I am, you know, a deadly foe, to traitors, one and all.
   I went on board the ship Melrose in August '83,
   And on my voyage to Capetown he was made known to me.
   When I found out he was Carey, we had angry words and blows,
   And the villain strove to take my life, on board of the Melrose.
   I stood up in self-defense, to fight before I'd die.
   My pocket pistol I drew forth, and at him I let fly.
   I fired at him a second time, which pierced him thro' the heart,
   I gave him e'en a third volley, before he did depart.
   His wife and son came running down, to the cabin where he lay,
   They saw him lying in his gore, it filled them with dismay.
   O'Donnell, you have killed my husband,
