the men of no property - the ballad of carrick hill lyrics

Loading...

up in tennant street, the orangemen assembled
their drums made a terrible din
they came down peter’s hill in their thousands
determined to cross carrick hill

annie larry was the first one to see them
on her bugle she gave a loud blast
from the houses the people came tumbling
swearing that no orangemen would get past

father bradley ran out of st. patrick’s
he’s a man we never can thank
gave three chimes on the old chapel bell
and the wine victims of milfield assembled
swearing to give all the orangemen h+ll

josie meekin that hero fought so bravely
he’s a man we never can thank
he came out of the scr+pyard like rommel
firing sh+lls from an old german tank

but at last poor buxie drummond was
surrounded, outnumbered by forty to one
his hatchet with blood was all blunted
and the ammunition was done
but then down from turf lodge reservation
sure the carrick hill arabs did come
bogie bradley was there with his father
and both of them carried a gun

the dawn it was breaking on belfast
carrick hill was all but covered in red
lenny deighon was hiring out handcarts
for the orangemen to take home their dead
