- (continued from previous page)That day was spent cheerful until six in the evening
On the road coming home we got a surprise
When inside the hedge we heard men slowly talking
Is Father Dunne coming was the murdering cry
At that fatel moment the shot it was fired
And young Edward Mortan fell dead in his gore
I think that I see him as he lies there bleeding
"Edward Mortan" my true love I'll never see him more.
Father Dunne the good pirate,
They intended to murder,
The Lord had not ordained
That he should fall be their hands,
But since in this world we are parted for ever
We hope for to meet in the next happy land.- Collector
