lirik lagu frank harte - henry joy mccracken

[verse 1]
it was on the belfast mountain i heard a maid complain
and she vexed the sweet june evening with her heart~broken strain
crying, “woe is me! life’s anguish is more than i can dree
since henry joy mccracken died on the gallows tree.”

[verse 2]
at donegore, he proudly rode and he wore a suit of green
and proud though vain, at antrim, his sword flashed lightning~keen
and when by spies surrounded, his band to slemish fled
he came unto to the cavehill for to rest his weary head

[verse 3]
i watched for him the night long as in our cot he slept
at daybreak from the heather to mcart’s fort we crept;
when news came from greencastle of a good ship anchored nigh
and ’twas down by yon wee fountain we met to say goodbye

[verse 4]
“he says, ‘my love, be cheerful, for tears and fears are vain’
he says. ‘my love, be hopeful, our land shall rise again.’
he kissed me ever fondly, he kissed me ten times o’er
saying, ‘death shall never part us, my love for evermore.'”

[verse 5]
that night i climbed the cavehill and i watched till morning blazed
and when its fires had kindled, across the lough i gazed
i saw an english tender at anchor off at garmoyle
but alas, no good ship bore him away to france’s soil
[verse 6]
and a~twice that night a trampling came along the old coach road
’twas ellis and his yeomen, false niblock with them strode;
my father, home returning, the doleful story told:
“alas”, he said, “young henry joy for fifty pounds is sold.”

[verse 7]
“and is it true?” i asked her, “oh yes it’s true” she said;
“for to this heart that loved him, i pressed his gory head
and every night, pale, bleeding, his ghost comes to my side
my harry, my dead harry, comes for his promised bride.”

[verse 8]
now on the belfast mountain this fair maid’s voice is still
for in a grave they laid her high on high carnmoney hill
and the sad sad waves beneath her chant requiem for the dead
the rebel winds shrieks freedom above her weary head
