    He gave me a dreadful shock
    And I knew that man was innocent just as well as me.
    Thank God now from the scaffold we both are set free
    Farewell to friends and neighbours and to all I love so dear
    My father and my mother for me will shed a tear
    My sisters and my brothers life I'll bid you all good day
    Bye
    For I'm locked up in cold irons until the day I die
    But now the day is close at hand
    When I will be shown your fair play
    Our members and brave Parnell
    Are working night and day
    To see our native parliament in college green once more
    Our boys won't be transported
    From their lovely Shamrock shore
