- (continued from previous page)Farewell all my country men and all
I love so dear my father and my mother
for them I'll shed a tear.
My sisters and my brothers I wish wish ye all Good Bye.
For I am locked up in cold irons until the day I die.
4
Now to conclude and finish.
Let young and old unite
And offer up a fervent prayer both morning noon and night
In hopes the Lord would bring me free
To my native home once more.
To my father and my mother the lovely shamrock shore.- Collector
