Thanks for your responses. I believe this song goes back to the 1920's because one verse refers to "and a free-state firing party sent Joe McElvey(sp?) through Death's Gate". There is also mention of a 16-year-old patriot named Frankie Dougherty. What I know of the first verse goes something like this:

Through Belfast's lonely graveyard I strayed one autumn night.
Around a grave a crowd I saw in the evening's fading light;
And from the men and womenfolk who knelt around that mound,
Came the Pater's and the Ave's in a soft-toned Gaelic sound.

The version of the song I have is by Ray McAreavey. From the point I left off the song goes on to name other Volunteers that I have not heard of, and that is the help I am looking for. Sean McCahartley(sp?), Patty Nash, Joe McElvey, and Frankie Dougherty. Thanks for any help.
