lirik lagu frank harte - croppy boy
[verse 1]
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
[verse 2]
’twas early, early all in the night
the yeoman cavalry gave me a fright
the yeoman cavalry was my downfall
taken was i before lord cornwall
[verse 3]
it was in the guardhouse where i was laid
and in his parlour where i was tried
my sentence passed and my courage low
when to dungannon i was forced to go
[verse 4]
as i was going up wexford street
my own first cousin i chanced to meet
my own first cousin did me betray
and for one bare guinea swore my life away
[vedrse 5]
as i was passing my father’s door
my brother william, he stood ont he floor
my aged father did grieve full sore
and my tender mother her hair she tore
[verse 6]
as i was walking up wexford hill
who could blame me to cry my fill?
i looked behind and i looked before
but my aged mother i shall ne’er see more
[verse 7]
when i was mounted on the scaffold high
my aged father was standing by
my aged father did me deny
and the name he gave me was, “the croppy boy”
[verse 8]
it was in dungannon this young man died
and in dungannon his body lies
all you good people that do pass by
please shed a tear for the croppy boy
