- Once upon a time there was a wicked man named Brennan who robbed the wealthy people of their money and gave it to the poor. He spent a good deal of his time around Shannahan. When he met a rich man on the road, at going to a fair he halted him and said to him:
Deliver out your money
And that without delay
Or with a loathed pistol
Your life I'll take away
here is another verse composed about him:
One day as Brennan's wife went to town
For provisions and food to bury
She met her little Willie
She began to weep and cry
"Hand me (tenpenny)"
(And as soon as Willie spoke)
She handed him a blunder bus
From underneath her cloack
One of the places where where this man hid money was in a glen called Glesnn An Leacan- Collector
