I wonder if anyone can help here? I'm looking for the words to a number of execution songs, all related to Kilmainham Gaol. The first is 'The Kilmainham Minuet', which I have heard of, but do not have the words. The next three songs I saw the words of in Volume three of a Book of Irish Ballads (now long out of print) by Mercier Press. At least I'm nearly certain that is where they were. The songs were 'The Ballad of Michael Fagan, The Ballad of Timothy Kelly (two of the Invincibles executed at Kilmainham in 1883). The third song refers to a man called Joseph Heffernan from Westmeath, also hanged for murder in 1910 (He was the last man to be hanged at the Gaol.

If anyone can help or put me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful.
