    When I done this murder
    I returned home I own,
    In the shade of the wood-land
    I left her alone;
    The birds all assembled
    With a noise in the air,
    To mourn the loss
    Of young Ellen Maguire.
    And now to conclude
    And to finish my song
    Let this be a warning
    To all you young men;
    To the trap-board of Sligo
    I now must prepare,
    To die for the murder
    Of Ellen Maguire.
