    Parnell and Kate O'Shea
    One shilling paid to the Land League to back a noble cause, that was put in opposition against those bad land lords.
    I was willing to give my shilling , but now its gone astray. I hear by lucky Parnell and sporty Kate O' Shea.
    O why was I so follish my fine shilling for to give, for me it would buy tobacco or treat some honest friends.
    Its now I do deplore its loss and will for many a day.
    Hard fortune to my Parnell and sporty Kate O' Shea
