Song language: English
The Rocks of Bawn |
| Come all you loyal heroes and listen on to me |
| Don’t hire with any master 'till you know what your work will be |
| For he will rise you early from the clear day light till the dawn |
| And you never will be able for to plough the rocks of Bawn |
| Rise up gallant Sweeney and get your horses hay |
| And give them a good feen of oats before they start the away |
| Don’t feed them on soft turnip sprigs that grow on your green land |
| Or they never will be able for to plough the rocks of Bawn |
| My curse upon you Sweeney you have me nearly robbed |
| You’re sitting by the fireside now your feet upon the hob |
| You’re sitting by the fireside from the clear daylight 'till the dawn |
| And you never will be able now to plough the rocks of Bawn |
| I wish the Queen of England would send for me in time |
| And place me in some regiment all in my youth of prime |
| I’d fight for Ireland’s glory from the clear daylight 'till the dawn |
| And I would never return again to plough the rocks of Bawn |
