lirik lagu the men of no property - cormack macilvogue
my name is cormack macilvogue, the truth to you i’ll tell
there was a girl from lisburn town, ach, sure i loved her well
her name it was fair annie doyle, and married we would be
but for some reason of his own, her brother he slighted me
it was down in yonder valley we used to sport and play
her brother john came on us one evening as we lay
he pulled a pistol from his side, he tried to shoot me dead
his aim untrue, i tell to you, fair annie fell instead
the soldiers came that very night, up to me father’s farm
they read aloud a warrant, which filled me with alarm
for the murder of young annie doyle they dragged me off to jail
which left me father for the mourn, me mother there to wail
the old judge turned around to me, the black cloth on his head
saying “god have mercy on your soul. you’ll hang until you’re dead”
“i’m innocent, i’m innocent, oh god, this can’t be so”
but the turnkeys there on every side, they dragged me down below
they threw me in a cold dark cell, and i lay on the floor
another man locked up with me at first i did ignore
the turnkey brought me supper in, foul water and black bread
says he, “now get acquainted with your cellmate rebel ned”
he bade me tell my story, and i told him of my fear
that i could hang for another man’s crime, the execution near
he’d been captured in the mountains, a gallant raparee
and gently whispered in my ear, “tonight we’ll both be free”
at dead of night a scuffle, and down went both our guards
the men that sarsfield left behind tied ropes around the bars
they whipped their horses into flight, the timber frames gave way
“the hangman’s road will have to wait,” said ned, “another day”
in search of annie’s brother john i road, as dawn in the sky
i ordered him to come and face a man condemned to die
“if not for you she’d be alive, not in a cold grave laid
oh they can’t hang me a second time.” i shot the b~st~rd dead
then to the belfast mountains in haste i did repair
with rebel ned’s bold raparees i’ll take me chances there
they’ve placed a reward on my head, called me a murdering rogue
judge for yourself, you’ve heard the tale of cormack macilvogue
