SONGS ABOUT THE SHOOTING OF LORD LEITRIM
2nd April 1878. Lord Leitrim assassinated in the north of County Donegal in Ireland .

Ye men from Tipperary, have ye heard from Donegal,
How Rory and his gallant men caused Lord Leitrim's sad downfall?
It was on the second of April in the year of seventy-eight.
I hope the youth of Ireland will keep memory of that date.
