Flying Column - Henry Joy текст песни

Исполнитель: Flying Column

альбом: Favourite Irish Rebel Ballads


An Ulsterman I'm proud to be
From Antrim's glens I came
And although I labored by the sea
I followed pike and gun
I've heard the martial tramp of men
I've seen them fight and die
Alas I well remember when I followed Henry Joy
Now I took my boat in from the sea
I hid my sails away
And I hung my net upon a tree
I scanned the moonlit bay
Well our boys were out the redcoats too
I kissed my wife goodbye
And in the shade of the leafy glade
I followed Henry Joy
Alas for Ireland's cause we fought
For home and soil we bled
Though our pikes were few
Our hearts beat true
And five to one lay dead
There was many a lassie missed her lad
And mother mourned her boy
For youth was strong in the dashing throng
That followed Henry Joy
Now in Belfast town they built a tree
And the redcoats mustered there
And I watched them come at the beat of the drum
Rolled out of the barracks square
Well he kissed his sister went along
And waved a last goodbye
Oh my God, I cried, I kenned and I sighed
They murdered Henry Joy
