Come tell me, dearest mother, what makes my father stay
Or
what can be the reason that he's been so Iong away?
Oh hold your tongue, my darling son, your
tears do grieve me sore,
I fear he has been murdered at the fair of
Turloughmore.
Come all you tender Christians I hope you will draw near
It's of this
dreadful murder I mean to let you hear:
Concerning those poor people whose loss we do
deplore
(The Lord havc mercy on their souls) they died at Turloughmore.
'Twas on tbe
first of August the truth I will declare
Those people tbey assembled that day all at the
fair;
But little was their notion what evil was in store
All by the bloody Peelers at the
fair of Turloughmore.
Were you to see that dreadful sight 'twould grieve your heart I
know
To see those lovely women and the men all lying low;
God help their tender parents,
they will never see them more,
For cruel was tbeir murder at the fair of
Turloughmore.
It's for that base bloodthirsty crew remark the word I say
The Lord he
will reward them against the Judgement Day,
The blood they've taken innocent for it they'll
suffer sore,
And the treatment that they gave to us that day at Turloughmore.
The
mnoming of their trial as they stood in the dock,
The words they spoke were feeling, the people
round them flock,
"l tell you Judge and Jury, the truth I will declare
It was Brew that
ordered us to fire, that evening at the fair."
Now to conclude and finish this sad and
doleful lay
I hope their souls are happy against the Judgment Day,
It was little time they
got, we know, when they fell like new-mown hay,
My the Lord have mercy on their souls against
the Judgment Day.
