As I roved out one evening
It was in the month of June
I strolled into an old churchyard
For to view a new built tomb
I overheard an old man say
As the tears fell from his eyes
Its underneath the tall green shade
Poor Peter Crowley lies

Come tell me of young Crowley
Come tell me if you could,
Who went one night along with him
To Cill Clooney's lonely wood,
Who stood beside that tall old oak,
Who fired the signal gun,
Who fought and died for Eire's right
Bill Crowley's only son
III
The hand that fired the signal gun
Is marked down Clanna Gaedhil
For many a mile we shouldered him
Through many a rugged dale
But lifeless cold Poor Peter lay
