- (continued from previous page)In October 'Ninety- Seven - may his soul find rest in heaven,
William Orr to execution was led on,
The jury, drunk, agreed that Irish was his creed ,
For perjury and threats drove them on, boys, on
Here's the memory of John Mitchell that is gone
In 'Ninety-Eight, the month, July, the informers pay was high,
When Reynolds gave the gallows brave McCann
But McCann was Reynolds' first, one could not allay his thirst,
So he brought up Bond and Byrne that are gone, boys, gone.
We saw a nation's tears shed for John and Henry Sheares,Betrayed by Judas , Captain Armstrong,
We may forgive, but we never can forget.
The poisoning of Maguire that is gone, boys, gone
One high star and true apostle that is gone
How did Lord Edward die? Like a man, without a sigh
But he left his handiwork on Major Swan
But Sirr with steel clad breast, and coward heart at best
Left us cause to mourn Lord Edward, that is gone, boys, gone
Here's the memory of our friends that are gone.
