frank harte - the jolly young ploughboy lyrics

[verse 1]
a jolly young plough boy was ploughing up the land
with his horses all under a green shade
well he whistled a gay songwhile his horses jogged along
all his wishes were to wed a handsome maid, a handsome maid
all his wishes were to wed a handsome maid

[verse 2]
he finished up his song while his horses ploughed along
saying, “for court’n of this maid i am to blame
and it’s when her ag+ed father sure is come to know
he will send me to the wars to be slain, to be slain
he’ll send me to thе wars to be slain

[verse 3]
when bessiе’s cruel father he came for to know
that young bessie she was courting on the plain
well he sent a troop of soldiers for to press her love on board
and they’ve sent him to the wars to be slain, to be slain
and they’ve sent him to the wars to be slain

[verse 4]
a suit of men’s clothing she easily put on
and she’s lined down the pockets with bright gold
and she’s marching down the street, while the tears roll down her cheeks
but she’s marching out like any soldier bold, soldier bold
she’s marching out like any soldier bold
[verse 5]
she went to the ship where her true love he did bide
to the captain she did instantly complain
i’m a poor distress+ed maid, looking out for my plough boy
they’ve sent him to the wars to be slain, to be slain
they’ve sent him to the wars to be slain

[verse 6]
she’s pull+ed out her purse full of gold
500 guineas there, and more
and she’s freely laid it down, for her o+wn plough++boy
and she’s rowed him in her arms to the shore, to the shore
rowed him in her arms to the shore

[verse 7]
now what’s like two lov+ers, whe+n they do meet?
they will drink and drownall sorrow and woe
they will laugh and they will sing
and they’ll cause the bell to ring
all for joy she’s got the young man she adores, she adores
for joy she’s got the young man she adores
