- (continued from previous page)One day, on the highway, as young Willie he sat down
He met the Mayor of Cashel a mile outside the town
The Mayor, he knew his features - "I think, young man", said he
"Your name is Willy Brennan - you must come along with me"As Brennan's wife had gone to town provisions for to buy
When she saw her Willy, she began to weep and cry;
He says "Give me that tenpenny". As soon as Willie spoke
She handed him a blunderbuss from underneath her cloakThen with his loaded blunderbuss - the truth I will unfold -
He made the Mayor tremble and robbed him of his gold;
One hundred pounds were offered for his apprehension there
And he, with his horse and saddle, to the mountain did repair.Then Brennan being an outlaw, upon the mountain high
With cavalry and infantry to take him they did try;
He laughed at them with scorn until at length it's said;
By a false-hearted woman he basely was betrayed.(continues on next page)- Informant
