Song (continued)
“He left a place called Enniskee on Saturday afternoon”
(continued from previous page)And took their lives away,
Those creatures they were sleeping, All on an earthen floor
IV
He grasped the spade with arms strong,
That stood behind the door,
He gave to them some dreadful blows,
Their death was many a way
And for the same
His life was lost in the prison of Armagh jail
V
When the jury found him guilty
The judge to him did say
'On the 13th day of January your life must pass away,
And pray to God for mercy,
In hopes your soul to save,
And may the Lord forgive you(continues on next page)- Collector
