An Old Song (continued)
“My name is Patrick O'Donnell and I come from Donegal”
(continued from previous page)Where I ne'er was held in scorn.
So fare thee well to Erin's isle
Its hills and valley's green
For nevermore on Erin's shore,
O'Donnell you'll be seen.Adieu! Adieu! a long farewell
This is my parting day
I hear the death bell tolling now
Good Christians for me pray
Until the Blessed Virgin, when on
bended knees you fall.
For the soul of Patrick O Donnell
From the County Donegal.Composed by P. O'Donnell while awaiting execution in London.
Sung by
