"The priest's at home and he may be seen, 'Tis aisy speakin' with Father Green But you must wait while I go and see If the holy father alone may be." The lad has knelt to tell his sins "In Nomine Deo" the youth begins, At "Mea Culpa" he beats his breast And in broken murmurs he speaks the rest. I cursed three times since last Easter day, At mass-time once I went to play I passed the church yard one day in haste And forgot to pray for my mother's rest. At the siege of Ross did my father fall, And at Gory my loving brothers all. I alone am left of my name and race I shall go to Wexford to take their place. I bear no hate 'gainst no living thing But I love my country above the King Now, Father, bless me and let me go To die, if God hath ordained it so. The priest said naught, but a rustling noise Made the boy look up in wild surmise; The robes were gone, and in scarlet there Stood a yeoman captain with fiery glare. With fiery glare and with fury hoarse, Instead of a blessing he breath'd a curse " 'Twas a good thought, boy, to come here and shrive For this one last hour's your time to live." "On yonder river three tenders float, Your priest's on one if he isn't shot We hold this house for our lord, the King And the men say, Aye! May all traitors swing." At Geneva Valley the young man died, And at Passage there was his body laid Good people who live in peace and joy Breathe a prayer, shed a tear for the Croppie boy. * youth, or boy (Recorded by Patrick Galvin on a Riverside 10", I think) @Irish @soldier @death filename[ CROPPIE1 RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Cuckoos Nest, Cumberland And The Merrimac, Cumberlands Crew, Cunnla, Cupids Garden, Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight, Curragh Of Kildare, Cushie Butterfield, Cutty Wren, Cutty Wren2, Cyprus Anthem Text, Cyprus Native Anthem Text, Cyril Said It All Before, Czech Republic Native Anthem Text, Czechoslovakia Composers Round, Daddy Whats A Train, Daddy Youve Been On My Mind, Dahn The Plugole, Daily Growing Bonny Boy Is Young, Dalesmans Litany, Dame Durden, Damn Damn Damn The Filipinos, Dan Doo, Dancing At Whitsun, Danger Waters, Danny Boy, Danny Boy Other Version, Danville Girl, Darcy Farrow, Dark As The Dungeon, Dark British Foes, Dark Island, Dark Night Round, Darlin, Darling Corey, Darling Nelly Gray, Darwinian Theory, Das Lied Der Deutschen, Davy Crockett, Davy Faa, Davy Lowston, Day Is Done, Day We Went To Rothesay O, Days Of Forty Nine, Dday Dodgers, Deacons Daughter, Dead Dog Scrumpy, Dead Horse, Deaf Womans Courtship, Dear Companion, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson 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
