I did'nt mention in my first post just now....but the ballad is about Dominick Noone....
A 'Ribbon Man' who was murdered in the Boho area of Fermanagh in 1826.

This is another verse which may also belong to the same ballad:

Within the mountain nature made,
A deep and dismal cave,
That suited well the murderers said,
To be a traitor's grave,
They flung the lifeless body below -
A groan they thought it gave.
