lirik lagu frank harte - the bold belfast shoemaker

[verse 1]
come all you true born irishmen wherever you may be
i hope you’ll pay attention and listen unto me
i am a bold shoemaker, from belfast town i came
and to my great misfortune i ‘listed in the train

[verse 2]
i had a fair young sweetheart, jane wilson was her name
she said it grieved her to the heart to see me in the train
she told me if i would desert to come and let her know
she would dress me up in her old clothes that i might go to and fro

[verse 3]
we marched to chapelizod like heroes stout and bold
“i’ll be no more a slave to them” my officer i told
for to work upon a sunday with me did not agree
and so brave boys i did declare to take my liberty

[verse 4]
when encamped near tipperary we soon got his command
for me and for me comrades bold one night on guard to stand
the night it being both wet and dark and so we did agree
that on that very night brave boys we’d take our liberty

[verse 5]
the night that i deserted i had no place to stay
i went into a meadow and lay down in the hay
it was not long that i lay there until i rose again
and looking all around me, boys, i spied six of the train
[verse 6]
we had a bl~~dy battle but soon i beat them all
and soon the dastard cowards for mercy loud did call
saying, “spare our lives brave irwin and we will pray for thee
and by all that’s fair we will declare for you and liberty!”

[verse 7]
as for george clarke of carrick i own he’s very mean
for the sake of thirty shillings he had me took again
they locked me in the guard room, my fate for to deplore
with four on every window, boys, and six on every door

[verse 8]
i being in close confinement, i soon looked all around
i leaped out of the window and knocked four of them down
the light horse and the train my boys, they soon did follow me
but i kept my road before them and preserved my liberty

[verse 9]
i next joined father murphy as you will plainly hear
and many’s the battle did i fight with his brave shelmalier
with four hundred of his croppy boys we battered lord mountjoy
and at the battle of new ross we made ten thousand fly

[verse 10]
i am a bold shoemaker and irwin is my name
i could beat as many orangemen as ‘listed in the train
i could beat as many orangemen as could stand in a row
i would make them fly before me like an arrow from a bow
