lirik lagu daoirí farrell - father murphy
[verse 1]
come all ye warriors and loyal n0bles
give ear unto my warlike theme
and i’ll relate how brave father murphy
has lately roused from his sleepy dream
not julius caesar or alexander
or the great king arthur ever equalled him
for armies formidable he did conquer
though with two pikeman he did begin
[verse 2]
camolin cavalry he did unhorse them
their first lieutenant he did cut him down
with broken ranks and with shattered columns
he soon returned to camolin town
and at the hill of oulart he displayed his valor
where one hundred cork men lay on the plain
at enniscorthy his sword he wielded
and i hope to see him once more again
[verse 3]
when enniscorthy became subject to him
it was next to wexford he did march his men
and there on the three rocks set up their quarters
waiting for the daylight the town to win
but the loyal townsmen gave their assistance
oh we’ll die or conquer was the words they said
and the yeomen cavalry gave no resistance
for on the pavement their bodies lay
[instrumental break]
[verse 4]
with drums a~beating the town did echo
and acclamation came from door to door
on the windmill hill we set up our camp there
and we drank like heroes but paid no score
to carraig rua for some time we waited
then next to gorey we did repair
at tubberneering we thought it no harm
but the bl~~dy army was waiting there
[verse 5]
and the issue of it was a close engagement
and on those soldiers we played warlike pranks
all through the sheep walks and the shady thickets
there were mangled bodies and broken ranks
and the shuddering cavalry i’ll ne’er forget it
how we raised the brushes on their helmets straight
they turned about and made for dublin
as though they ran for a ten pound plate
[verse 6]
some left through donnybrook
and some through blackrock
and some up shankhill without wound nor flaw
and if barry lawless hadn’t been a liar
there were more went scattering over luggala
to the windmill hill of enniscorthy
those british fencibles they ran like deer
but our troops were scattered and sorely battered
by the loss of kyan and his shelmaliers
[instrumenteal break]
[verse 7]
the streets of england they were left quite naked
of all its armies both foot and horse
and the highlands of scotland they were left unguarded
likewise the hessians and the seas they crossed
but if the frenchmen had reinforced us
and landed transports at baginbun
father john murphy would have been our seconder
and sixteen thousand with him would have run
[verse 8]
success attend ye sweet county wexford
who threw off the yoke and to battle ran
let no man think we gave up our arms
for every man still has his pike and gun
