Horsemonger Lane Gaol, London Transcription Transcription of ballad lyrics Attention give, both old and young Of high and low degree; Think, while this mournful tale is sung, Of our sad misery. We've slain O'Connor, both good and kind, Who oft to us has been a friend, For which we must our lives resign, Our time is near an end. Oh! hark, what mean that dreadful sound? It sinks deep in our souls. It is the bell that sounds our knell, How solemn is the toll. See, thousands are assembled Around the fatal place, To gaze on our approaching fate, And witness our disgrace. Let pilfering passions not intrude, For to lead you astray, From step to step it will delude, And bring you to dismay. Think of the wretched guilty Mannings, Who thus die on a tree, A death of shame, we've nought to blam But our own base infamy. Mercy on earth we'll not iimplore, To crave it would be vain. Our hands are dyed with human gore, None can wash off the stain. But the merits of a Saviour, Whose mercy alone we crave, Good Christians pray, so thus we die, We may has pardon have.
