Boys Of Mullabawn |
On a Monday morning early, as my wand’ring steps did take me |
Down by a farmer’s station is meadows and green lawn |
I heard great lamentation the wee birds they were making |
Sayin' «We'll have no more engagements with the boys of Mullaghbawn» |
I beg your pardon ladies, I’ll ask you this one favour |
I hope it is no treason, on you I now must call |
I’m condoling late and early, my heart is nigh for breaking |
All for a noble lady that lives near Mullaghbawn |
Squire Jackson he’s unequaled in honour or in favour |
He never turned a traitor or betrayed the rights of man |
But now we are endangered by a vile deceiving stranger |
Who has ordered transportation for the boys of Mullaghbawn |
With those heroes on the ocean, I’m told the ship in motion |
Stood up in wild commotion as if the seas ran dry |
The trout and salmon gaping as the cuckoo left her station |
Saying «farewell to Erin and the hills of Mullaghbawn» |
To end this lamentation, we are all in consternation |
None wants for recreation until the day do dawn |
For without hesitation, we are charged with combination |
And sent for transportation from the hills of Mullaghbawn |
