2. f i e l d down by the river, my love andI did stand,

Ina

and on my leaning shoulder, she laid her snow-white hand.

She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs
but I was young andfoolish, and now am full of tears.

2. But the treacherous scoundrel, he took us all in,

for he married a Papish named Bridget McGinn.
Turned Papish himself and forsook the Old Cause,
that gave us our freedom, religion and laws.
And the boys in the county made noise upon it,
theyforced Bob to flee to the province of Connaught;
Took with him his wife and hisfixins, to boot,
and along with the rest went the auld orangeflute.

3. Each Sunday at mass, to atonefor past deeds,

Bob said Paters and Aves and counted his beads.
Till one Sunday morn, at the priests own require,
he wentfor to play with the flutes in the choir.
He went with the oldflute to play in the loft,
but the instrument shivered and sighed and then coughed.
When he blew it andfingered it, it made a strange noise,
for the flute would play only ?The Protestant Boys?.

4. Bob jumped up and started, and got in aflutter,

he pitched the oldflute in the best holy water;
He thought that this charm would bring some other sound,
when he tried it again, it played ?Croppies Lie Down!?
And all he did whistle, andfinger and blow,
f o r to play Papish music, theflute would not go;
?Kick the Pope?, ?The Boyne Water?, and such like ?twould sound
not one Papish bleat in it could e'er befound.

2. I believe that when writin' a wish you expressed,
as to how thefine ladies in London were dressed,
well if you believe me, when asked to a ball,
faith they don't wear a top to their dresses at all.
Oh, I've seen them myselfand you could not in truth,
say if they were bound for a ball or a bath.
Don't be startin' them fashions now Mary MacCree,
where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea.

l've seen England's kingfrom the top of a bus,

I've never known him though he means to know us.

And tho' by the Saxon we once were oppressed,

still I cheered, Godforgive me, I cheered with the rest.
And now that heSs visited Erin's green shore,
we'll be much betterfriends than we've been heretofore.
When we've got all we want, we're as quiet as can be,
where the mountains ofMourne sweep down to the sea.

4. You remember young Peter O'Laughlin of course,

well now he is here at the head oftheforce.
I met him today, I was crossing the strand,
and he stopped the whole street with one wave of his hand.
And there we stood talkin' of days that are gone,
while the whole population ofLondon looked on.
Butfor all these great powers he's wishful like me,
to be back where the dark Mourne sweep down to the sea.

5. There" beautiful girls here-oh never you mind,

with beautiful shapes, nature never designed.
And lovely complexions all roses and cream,
but O?Laughlin remarked with regard to the same,
That i f at those roses you venture to sip,
the colours might all come away on your lip.
So I ' l l waitf o r the wild rose, that's waitin'for me,
where the mountains ofMourne sweep down to the sea.

and thyme brings all things to my mind.
Thyme with all itsflavours, along with all its joys,
thyme brings all things to my mind.

3. OnceI had a bunch ofthyme,

I thought it never would decay.
Then came a lusty sailor, who chanced to pass my way,
and stole my bunch of thyme away.

He gave it to me to keep me reminded,

the cowardly yeomen we put to fight,
twas at The Harrow, the boys of Wexford
showed Bookey's regiments how men could fight,
look outfor hirelings, King George of England,
search every kingdom where breathes aslave,
for Father Murphy from County Wexford,
sweeps o'er the land like a mighty wave.

.
We took Camolin and Enniscorthy and Wexford,
storming, drove out ourfoes.
*twas at Slieve Coilte our pikes were reeking
with the crimson stream of the beaten Yeos,
at Tubberneering and Ballyellis
full many a Hessian lay in his gore.
A h Father Murphy, had aid come over,
the Green Flagfloated from shore to shore.

. At Vinegar Hill o'er the pleasant Slaney

our heroes vainly stood back to back.
And the yeos at Tullow took Father Murphy
and burned his body upon the rack.
God grant you glory brave Father Murphy,
and open heaven to all your men,
the cause that called you, may come tomorrow,
in anotherfight for the green again.

. ?No signal answers from the shore?, Sir Roger sadly said,
?No comrades here to meet me, alas, they must be dead.
But I must do my duty and at once I mean to land?,
so in a small boat rowed ashore on the lonely Banna Strand.

+
Now the R.LC. were huntingfor Sir Roger high and low,
they found him in McKennasfort; Said they: ?You are ourfoe?,
said he: ?I'm Roger Casement, I came to my native land,
I mean to free my countrymen on the lonely Banna Strand.?

.
They took Sir Rogerprisoner and sailedfor London town,
and in the Tower they laid him, a traitor to the Crown.
Said he ?I am no traitor?, but his trial he had to stand,
f o r bringing German rifles to the lonely Banna Strand.

.
"Twas in an English prison that they led him to his death,
?I'm dyingf o r my country?, he said with his last breath.
They buried him in British soil,f a rfrom his native land,
and the wild waves sing his requiem on the lonely Banna Strand.

With me too-ra-loo-ra-lay ...

I dressed meself quite gay andI frizzed an oiled me hair up.
The captain had no wife and he'd gone off a-fishin?,
so we kicked upthe highlife below the stairs in the kitchen.
With me too-ra-loo-ra-lay ...

when to the door in haste came Captain Kelly's carriage.
Her looks told me full well and they were not bewitchin',
that she wished Td get to hell, or somewherefrom the kitchen.
With me too-ra-loo-ra-lay ...

Sheflew up off my knees, full five feet up or higher,
and over head and heels threw me slap into the fire!

2. Itooka s t r o l l down Broadway,

meaning not longf o r to stay,
when who should I meet but this prettyf a i r maid
comes a tripping along the highway.
She was bothf a i r and handsome.
Her neck it was just like aswan's,
and her hair it hung over her shoulder,
tied up with a black velvet band.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds i

3. Itook a stroll with this prettyfair maid,

and a gentleman passing us by,
well I knew she meant the doing of him
by the look in her roguish black eye,
A goldwatch she tookfrom his pocket,
and placed it right in to myhand,
and the veryfirst thing t h aIt said was
?Bad luck to the black velvet band.?
vo Her eyes they shone like diamonds ...

 4. Before the judge and the jury

next morning I had to appear.

The judge he says to me: ?Young man,
your case it is proven clear.
We'll give you seven years penal servitude,
to be spentfaraway from the land,
far awayfrom yourfriends and relations,
betrayed by the black velvet band.?
Her eyes they shone like diamonds ...

So come all you jolly youngfellows

a warning take by me,
when you are out on the town me lads, I

beware of them pretty colleens.

For theyfeed you with strong drink, ?Oh yeah?
?til you are unable to stand,
and the very next thing that you'Il know is
you've landed in Van Diemens Land.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds ...

 4, Then Maggie O'Connor took up the cry,
2. One morning Tim was ratherfull,
his headfelt heavy which made him shake.
Hefell from a ladder and he broke his skull,
so they carried him home his corpse towake.
They rolled h i m u p in a nice clean sheet,
and laid him out upon thebed.
A bottle of whiskey at hisfeet,
and a barrel ofporter at his head.
Whackf o r the hurrah ...
5. Mickey Maloney ducked his head,
3. His friends assembled at the wake,
and Missus Finnegan called f o r lunch.
First she brought out tay and cake,
then pipes, tobaccoand whiskey punch.
Then Biddy O'Brien began to cry,
?Such a nice clean corpse, d i d y o u ever see,
Tim, mavourneen! Why did you die??.
?Will ye hould your gob ?? said PaddyM c G e e .
Whackf o r the hurrah ...
?O Biddy? says she ?you're wrong, Tm sure?.
Biddy, she gave her a belt in the gob,
and sent her sprawling on the floor.
A n d then the w a r d i d soon engage,
t'was woman to woman and man to man.
Shillelaigh law was all the rage,
and a row and a ruction soon began.
Whack f o r the hurrah ...
when a bucket of whiskeyflew ath im.
It missed, andfalling on the bed,
the liquor scattered over Tim.
Now the spirits new life gavet h e corpse, my joy!
Bedad he revives, see how he rises!
Cryin while he ran around Likeblazes,
«Thunderin? blazes, do ye think I'm dead??
