- (continued from previous page)To see the sons of ould Granuaile,
Surrounded left and right,
For the Fenians in the County Cork,
It’s there they did him show,
And they cheered for Crossmolina,
A town in Sweet Mayo.(4)
Bold Mc Cawley appear,
With Daly and the rest,
He told his lordship from the Dock,
For to try and do his best,
For he wished to make a speech,
But Lawson: he said “no”
And they cheered for Crossmolina,
A town in Sweet Mayo.(5)
There is another hero,
And Nally is his name,
Likewise Peter Munnelly,
Is actually the same,
He would not turn informer,
To cause either grief or woe,
Or swear upon his countrymen,
From the County of Mayo.(continues on next page)
