On the level they cantered, but the pace it did kill When they got to the bottom of Ligoniel Hill. But the trace-boys were there with a heart and a hand, They let down the traces and buckled each band. The passengers sat on contented and still When they saw the bold trace-boys of Ligoniel hill. Away we did canter as fast as the wind, And left the poor country carts plodding behind; And that song of the wind in my heart I hear still As when I was a trace-boy on Ligoniel Hill. The youth of today hold their heads in the air And the young girls pass by with a golliwog stare, Let them pity the crulge* on my back if they will But I once was a trace-boy on Ligoniel Hill. My friends all departed, and work now so scarce, The only thing left is a ride in a hearse; For the sky is my roof and my bed a brick-kiln, Yet I once was a trace-boy on Ligoniel Hill. * sic From Songs of Belfast, Hammond Related Lyrics Random lyrics: BALLYROAN, BARRYS COLUMN, BELFAST BRIGADE, BELIEVE ME IF ALL THOSE ENDEARING YOUNG CHARMS, BLACK AND TANS!, BLACK IS THE COLOUR, BOLD ROBERT EMMET, BOLD TENANT FARMER, BOOLAVOGUE (1), BOOLAVOGUE (2), BOTANY BAY, BOYS OF FAIRHILL, BOYS OF KILMICHAEL, BOYS OF THE OLD BRIGADE, BREAD AND FISHES, BRENNAN ON THE MOOR, BRIDGIT OMALLEY, BRING THEM HOME, BROAD BLACK BRIMMER, BUACHAILL N IRNE, CARRICKFERGUS (1), CARRICKFERGUS (2), COAST OF MALABAR, COMICAL GENIUS, COURTIN IN THE KITCHEN, THE ARMAGH SNIPER, THE BARD OF ARMAGH, THE BIRMINGHAM SIX, THE BLACK AND TAN GUN, THE BOLD BLACK AND TAN, THE BOLD FENIAN MEN, THE BOLD ODONOHUE, THE BOYS FROM THE COUNTY ARMAGH, THE BOYS FROM THE COUNTY CORK, THE BOYS FROM THE COUNTY MAYO, THE BOYS OF KILLYBEGS, THE CLIFFS OF DONEEN, THE CRACK WAS NINETY IN THE ISLE OF MAN, THE CREGGAN WHITE HARE, THE CROPPY BOY, THE CURRAGH OF KILDARE, Black Velvet Band, Bodenstown Churchyard, Bridget Flynn, Drunken Sailor, Fiddlers Green, Goodbye Mrs Durkin, GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER, Hiring Fair, The First Love In Life, Other Irish Folksongs song Lyrics A BUNCH OF THYME Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Little Bit Of Heaven Lyrics A Man You Dont Meet Every Day Lyrics A Mothers Love Is A Blessing Lyrics A Muirsheen Durkin Lyrics A Nation Once Again Lyrics A NIGHT TO REMEMBER Lyrics A Pair Of Brown Eyes Lyrics A Rainy Night In Soho Lyrics A Soldiers Song Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Irish Rovers Lyrics Irma Schultz Lyrics Irma Tapio Lyrics Irma Thomas Lyrics Iron And Wine Lyrics IRON BUTTERFLY Lyrics Iron Fire Lyrics Iron Maiden Lyrics Iron Rain Lyrics Iron Savior Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
