Cu Chulainn - Dicey Riley şarkı sözleri

Sanatçı: Cu Chulainn

albüm: The Definitive Collection


An Ulsterman I am proud to be
From Antrim's glens I come
Although, I labour on the sea
I have followed flag and drum
I have heard the martial tramp of men
I've watched them fight and die
And it's well I do remember that
I followed Henry Joy
I pulled my boat in from the sea
I hid my sails away
I hung my net on a greenwood tree
And I scanned the moonlit bay
The boys went out, the redcoats too
I kissed my wife goodbye
And beneath the shade of the greenwood glade
I followed Henry Joy
In Antrim town the tyrant stood
He tore our ranks with ball
But with a cheer and a pike to clear
We swept them o'er the wall
Our pikes and sabers flashed that day
We won but lost, ah why?
No matter lads, I fought beside
And I shielded Henry Joy
Alas, for Ireland's cause we fought
For home and sire we bled
Though pikes were few and our hearts beat true
And five to one lay dead
Ah, but many a lassie mourned her lad
And mother mourned her boy
For youth was strong in that gallant throng
That followed Henry Joy
In Belfast town they built a tree
And the redcoats mustered there
I watched him come as the beat of the drum
Rolled out on the barrack square
He kissed his sister, went aloft
And bade his last goodbye
My soul! He died, I turned and cried
They have murdered Henry Joy
