lirik lagu frank harte - croppies lie down
[verse 1]
all you who love darkness instead of ‘true light’
who dare not yourself show except in the night
lament your sad loss, let the news spread afar
the great overthrow of ‘the northern star’
[chorus]
derry down down, derry down down
derry down
derry down, croppies lie down
[verse 2]
in the county of wexford these rebels did rise
all brave orange men they swore they’d sacrifice
they thought that our army they surely would beat
but we boldly attacked them and made them retreat
[chorus]
derry down down, derry down down
derry down
derry down, croppies lie down
[verse 3]
on vinegar hill then those rebels did camp
they thought by their numbers our army would cramp
but we boldly attacked them and forced them to yield
and five hundred croppies lay dead on the field

derry down
derry down, croppies lie down
[verse 4]

he attacked all the croppies just at the daylight
he threw up his bombsh~lls and bullets so fast
and put the d~mn croppies all flying at last

derry down
derry down, croppies lie down

he forced up the hill when the attack it was made
and planted his cannon in such a fine spot
and made the wild croppies to curse his grape shot

derry down
derry down, croppies lie down
[verse 6]
these rebels they thought our commanders seduced
they sent out mcm~n~s with a white flag of truce
they thought that the army good terms they would give
but the answer was, “croppies we won’t let you live.”

[chorus]
derry down down, derry down down
derry down
derry down, croppies lie down

then esmond and kaol with harvey and hay
unto general moor were given up the next day
they were tried by court martial, them quickly we slew
and that put an end to the bloodthirsty crew
[chorus]
derry down down, derry down down
derry down
derry down, croppies lie down
