clancy brothers - the croppy boy lyrics
the croppy boy
it was early, early in the spring
the birds did whistle and sweetly sing
changing their notes from tree to tree
and the song they sang was old ireland free
it was early early in the night
the yeoman cavalry gave me a fright;
the yeoman cavalry was my downfall
and i was taken by lord cornwall
’twas in the guard-house where i was laid
and in a parlour where i was tried;
my sentence p-ssed and my courage low
when to dungannon i was forced to go
as i was p-ssing my father’s door
my brother william stood at the door;
my aged father stood at the door
and my tender mother her hair she tore
as i was going up wexford street
my own first cousin i chanced to meet;
my own first cousin did me betray
and for one bare guinea swore my life away
as i was walking up wexford hill
who could blame me to cry my fill?
i looked behind, and i looked before
but my aged mother i shall see no more
and as i mounted the platform high
my aged father was standing by;
my aged father did me deny
and the name he gave me was the croppy boy
it was in dungannon this young man died
and in dungannon his body lies
and you good people that do p-ss by
oh shed a tear for the croppy boy
