《The Croppy Box》歌词

[00:00:00] The Croppy Box - The Clancy Brothers

[00:00:11] It was early early all in the spring

[00:00:17] The birds did whistle and sweetly sing

[00:00:22] Changing their notes from tree to tree

[00:00:27] And the song they sang was old Ireland free

[00:00:33] It was early early all in the night

[00:00:38] The yeoman cavalry gave me a fright

[00:00:42] The yeoman cavalry was my downfall

[00:00:47] And taken was I by Lord Cornwall

[00:00:54] As I was walking up Wexford Hill

[00:00:59] Ohh who could blame me to cry my fill

[00:01:04] I looked behind and I looked before

[00:01:09] But my aged mother I shall see no more

[00:01:18] As I was walking up Wexford Street

[00:01:22] My own first cousin I chanced to meet

[00:01:28] My own first cousin did me betray

[00:01:33] And for one bare guinea swore my life away

[00:01:41] As I was mounted on the platform high

[00:01:46] My aged father was standing by

[00:01:52] My aged father did me deny

[00:01:57] And the name he gave me was the croppy boy

[00:02:05] It was in Dungannon this young man died

[00:02:11] And in Dungannon his body lies

[00:02:17] So are good people who do pass by

[00:02:22] Oh shed up a tear for the croppy boy
