one morning i rambled from glasgow - john reilly (ireland) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
one morning i rambled from glasgow
where the weather was calm and serene
and just as i crossed the boyne water
i went into a green and sat down

[verse 2]
there was hundreds of people around me
and them all seems like strangers to me
till an old man a*steppin’ up to me
and those was the words he did say:

[verse 3]
“it is thirty*two years since last harvest
when i first saw this green isle before
but one evenin’ comin’ home from the market
where i met with a crowd of jewmen
and them all shoutin’, “croppy lie down”

[verse 4]
i a*seemed for to pass no great notice
and the leader of them told me stand:
“come shoot him, come shoot him, he’s a rover
and besides he’s a united man.”

[verse 5]
now a sergeant rappeared for to shoot me
oh though he’s reprivin’ his pal
’twas the sword that i snapped from t’oul drummer
i directly took off his right hand
[verse 6]
’twas the sword that i snapped from the drummer
it was then i had quick let him know
’twas the head from the shoulders i swep’ off
and that what the very next blow

[verse 7]
for we fought left an’ right without mercy
till my brothers arm was broke with a gun
for we fought left and right without mercy
oh sayin’ “bernie, my boy, we are done”

[verse 8]
jumpin’ into a grove that was near us
sayin’, “bernie my boy, we will run”
where we walked hand to hand and together
we were scarcely a mile down the town

[verse 9]
where we knocked at a door that soon opened
an’ was in a grand parlour sat down
sayin’, “i’m glad that you acted so bravely
as your fathers an’ i did before
for to pull down john buli’s thirsty tyrants
that a*rambles round erin’s green shore.”
