I looked behind, and I looked before But my aged mother I shall see no more And as I mounted the platform high My aged father was standing by My aged father did me deny And the name he gave me was the Croppy Boy It was in Dungannon this young man died And in Dungannon his body lies And you good people that do pass by Oh shed a tear for the Croppy Boy Related Lyrics Random lyrics: The Orange And The Green, The Scottsman, The Unicorn, Wasnt That A Party, Years May Come Years May Go, Det Kommer En Gryning, Precis Som Du, Aa Aa Allin Lasta, Precis Som Du, Stureplan, Wish Someone Would Care, Beauty and Family, Beneath The Balcony, Bird Stealing Bread, Cinder And Smoke, Each Coming Night, Fever Dream, Free Until They Cut Me Down, Love And Some Verses, Naked As We Came, On Your Wings, Passing Afternoon, Radio War, Sodom, South Georgia, Such Great Heights, Sunset Soon Forgotten, Teeth in the Grass, The Trapeze Swinger, Upward Over The Mountain, Are You Happy, Belda-Beast, Filled With Fear, Flower and Beads, Flower Beads, Flowers and Beads, Get Out Of My Life, Woman, Her Favorite Style, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, In The Crowds, In The Time Of Our Lives, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, It Must Be Love, Lonely Boy, Most Anything You Want, My Mirage, Possession, Real Fright, So-Lo, Soldier In Our Town, Soul Experience, 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
