   Fragment of a Song Composed by a Local Rustic Poet on the Fight put up agains Rack rents by the Tenants of Petersville Coolnahinch and Quigilagh in 1881

   You patriot farmers I pray lend (me) an ear
   A tale of deep intrest I mean you to hear
   Of the Petersville tenants who acted so brave
   Against tyrannic Landlords who did them enslave

   Refrain

   O Mavrone they stood firm and loyal
   Displayed a grand pattern for country and town
   To pay no rackrents but at the point of the bayonet
   And hold to the rules that the League did lay down

   But cursed disunion and tyranic laws Have injured poor Erin and her honest cause.
   O Mavrone were it left to the landlords We'd soon let them all the rent we would pay
   We'd deck them up neatly with tar and with feathers
   And curb their rapacity to the end of their day

   The seizures were made by the limbs of the law
   The worst looking vilains that ever you saw
   The cast of their features it would you affright
   Some say they stole spuds and robbed hen
