《Farmer Michael Hayes》歌词

[00:00:00] I am a bold undaunted fox that never yet was trapped or caught

[00:00:07] My rent rates and taxes I was willing for to pay

[00:00:13] I made me name on fine good land between Tipperary and Knocklong

[00:00:19] Where my fore fathers lived and died 2000 years ago

[00:00:25] I lived as happy as King Saul and loved my neighbours one and all

[00:00:31] I had no animosity for either friend or foe

[00:00:37] Until I was of late betrayed by one who was a bailiff

[00:00:44] He told me I should leave the place and show my face no more

[00:00:49] The day that he evicted me 'tis then I knew that I should flee

[00:00:56] Late one night I tracked him down and left him lying low

[00:01:02] He fell victim to a shot - his agency was soon forgot

[00:01:09] From that day on they're searching for Farmer Michael Hayes

[00:01:14] Soon there was a great lookout by land and sea myself to rout

[00:01:21] From Dublin Quay to Belfast along the raging sea

[00:01:27] By telegraph they did insert a great reward for my arrest

[00:01:33] My figure size and form and my name without mistake

[00:01:42] They broke their brogues took an this great reward to obtain

[00:01:48] But they would never cabuqiu find Michael Hayes

[00:01:54] Around the coast they made a steer from Poolbeg Lighthouse to Cape Clear

[00:02:00] Killarney Town and Sweet Tralee they then crossed into Clare

[00:02:08] When they landed on the shore they searched Kilrush from tip to toe

[00:02:15] They searched the baths at sweet Lisdoon likewise Miltown-Malbay

[00:02:20] They pass broke cantu aqiu and denetn had make up

[00:02:27] Still their search was all in vain for I showed them all my tail

[00:02:33] They searched the train at Oranmore as it was leaving for Athlone

[00:02:39] Every wagon car and coach they met along the road

[00:02:45] Connemara being remote they thought twas there I might resort

[00:02:52] But still they were at nothing I gave them all leg bail

[00:03:00] In Swinford Town as I lay down I heard the dreadful cry of hounds

[00:03:06] Which me set off for Charlestown through Knock and Castlebar

[00:03:12] Passing Hagfield I called in and had a drink with Joe O'Broin

[00:03:15] Which filled my heart with strength and speed whilst the hounds were getting slow

[00:03:46] And as the moon began to shine I thought I'd make a foreign clime
