the croppy boy lyrics
it was early, early all 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 all in the night
the yeoman cavalry gave me a fright
the yeoman cavalry were my downfall
i was taken prisoner by lord cornwall
as i was walking up wexford street
my own first cousin i chanced to meet;
my own first cousin did me betray
and for one bare guinea sold my life away
as i was walking up wexford hill
oh who could blame me to cry my fill?
i looked behind, and i looked before
but my tender mother i could see no morе
and as i was mounted on the scaffold high
my own dear fathеr 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
in passage east his body lies
so all good people who do pass by
just shed a tear for the croppy boy
