    For the shooting of Foran
    The government's friend.
    V
    When they came there
    In amazement they stood
    The place all over
    Was covered with blood.
    They looked at each other
    Had nothing to see
    But a land robbing body
    Lying under an ash tree.
    VI
    Curtin was taken,
    An innocent youth,
    He gave eight months in prison
    Foran the Brute.
    So now don't be too fond
    Of grabbing the land
    For you know the moonlighters
    Are near by at hand.
