   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   This song was made by a man from Williamstown, Co. Clar after the "Black and Tans" shot the four young men on the Bridge of Killaloe.
   This is the song:-

   I
   This dreadful news through Ireland spread it rang
   from shore to shore,
   And such a deed no living being has ever heard
   before,
   Not even Cromwell in his time no worse deed
   could he do,
   For the 'tans incore[?] they murdered four young
   youths in Killaloe

   II
   Three of these four been on the 'run' they were
   searched for here all 'round,
   And with the hero Egan that morning they
   were found,
   They asked if he were on the 'run' to the
   rebels he proved true
   And because he would not sell his pass he
   was shot in Killaloe.
