   I
   In bleak December in Newgate jail O'Donnell was put to death
   His fate will cause in Ireland a pang of deep regret
   By the common hangman's hand he died and his soul had scarcely fled
   When the black flag it was hoisted to tell is he was dead.
   Some thirty thousand Irish hearts were beneath the wall outside
   While the men all solemnly knelt in prayer and the women bitterly cried
   Saying this poor Irishman is gone as others went of late
   And Ireland will for ever remember ODonnells fate.
   II
   He was born in the county of Donegall, his age was forty eight
   When poverty came upon him he was forced to emigrate
   He settled in America that land of liberty and he learned to love the stars & stripes, the banner of the free
   He never forgot old Ireland her woods or valleys green
   He joined the Fenian brothers, who for freedom's sake I mean.
   He started on a voyage and scarcely was afloat when he found Cary was a passenger he shot him on the boat
   They then took him a prisoner and put him on for trial
   For the shooting of James Cary he gave them no denial
   III
   They then took him to England, tried him in London town
   When Carey's son gave evidence, with others for the Crown
   Judge Dermound sat upon the case from the opening to the end
