歌词
Croppy Boy (Album Version) - The Dubliners
作词:Malone
作曲:Malone
It was early early all in the Spring
When the birds did whistle and sweetly sing
Changing their notes all from tree to tree
And the song they sang was Old Ireland free
Oh as I went walkin' up Wexford street
Oh me own first cousin I changed to meet
Well me own first cousin did me betray
And for one bare guinnea sold me life away
It was early early all in the night
When the yeoman cavalry gave me a fright
Well the yeoman cavalry was my downfall
And taken was I by Lord Cornwall
And as I went walking up Wexford Hill
Now who could blame me to cry me fill
I looked behind and I looked before
And my aged mother I'll see no more
And when I stood on the scaffold high
My own dear father was standing by
Well me own dear father did me deny
And the name he gave me was the croppy boy
In Dungannon town now this boy died
In Dungannon town does his body lie
So all you strangers that do pass by
That's go shed a tear for the croppy boy
