lirik lagu mcalpine’s crew - frank harte

[verse 1]
you roving blades and comely maids who go out to emigrate
on england’s soil to work and toil, and wealth accumulate
you do not know, where e’er you go, what lies in store for you
so, take my advice and do think twice ‘ere you join mcalpine’s crew

[verse 2]
from dún laoghaire quay we sailed away all in the month of june
the boat it sped and holyhead it was in full view soon
to camden town i then went down my work tor to pursue
for to carry bricks and mortar mix, i joined mcalpine’s crew

[verse 3]
some digs to find my way inclined as night was drawing near
but as i read each notice said, “no culchies wantеd here”
how could they know that from mayo i had latеly bid adieu
so in camden town of high renown, i joined mcalpine’s crew

[verse 4]
some time it passed until at last a c~ckney took me in
the food was bad, but i was glad, though i dared not make a din
such fare is rough but good enough for lads like me and you
who sail from home and cross the foam to join mcalpine’s crew

[verse 5]
the foreman’s bark, from dawn till dark, was “boys, make no delay
for if you do, i swear to you, i will dock it from your pay”
the sunday mass to him alas was something rather new
likewise to many other boys, all in mcalpine’s crew
[verse 6]
in hail and snow to work i’d go, each day that god would send
to earn a bob and keep my job, for on it i did depend
until at length it broke my strength, consumption followed too
now, i’m a lonely man lying in a ‘san’, far from mcalpine’s crew

[verse 7]
a year it passed and now, at last, i am back in aghamore
and i am well and, true to tell, much wiser than before
oh, camden town, on you i frown, ’tis no wonder that i do
so in god’s own land i will take my stand, and i’ll curse mcalpine’s crew
