bas in eireann - black 47 lyrics

Loading...

i stole some b-tter to put on my bread
a crime against god, king and parliament
no fancy lawyer to defend my case
so i was sentenced at the mayo -ssizes

seven long years transportation
to botany bay in australia
is this the justice whereof you speak
ten crucifying years ahead of me

and all that i asked for, all that i need
is to live my life in my own country
all that i wanted or dear to me
is bas in erin, a chiusla geal mo chroí

i hid my brother to protect his life
he shot a man for collecting t-thes
to support the rites of the english church
a faith that meant not a d-mn to us

they hung my brother in wexford town
and when they cut his body down
the hangman turned and called my way
you’ll long for me in australia

i should have known what would become of me
the future’s always been there for all the world to see
the black death is approaching
i can see it on the way
oh, i’m better off in h-ll or australia
