Liam Clancy - The Croppy Boy
CAPO: 4th Fret
[INTRO]
C F G
[VERSE 1]
N.C. C F
It was early, early all in the spring
Dm G C
The birds did whistle and sweetly sing
F C
Changing their notes from tree to tree
Dm G F C
And the song they sang was Old Ireland Free
[VERSE 2]
N.C. C F
It was early, early all in the night
Dm G C
The Yeoman cavalry gave me a fright
F C
The yeoman cavalry were my downfall
Dm G F C
I was taken prisoner by Lord Cornwall
[INTERLUDE]
C F G
[VERSE 3]
N.C. C F
As I was walking up Wexford Street
Dm G C
My own first cousin I chanced to meet
F C
My own first cousin did me betray
Dm G F C
And for one bare guinea sold my life away
[VERSE 4]
N.C. C F
And as I was walking up Wexford Hill
Dm G C
Oh, who could blame me to cry my fill?
F C
I looked behind and I looked before
Dm G F C
But my tender mother I could see no more
[INTERLUDE:] C F G
[VERSE 5]
N.C. C F
And as I was mounted on the scaffold high
Dm G C
My own dear father was standing by
F C
My aged father did me deny
Dm G F C
And the name he gave me was the Croppy Boy
[VERSE 6]
N.C. C F
It was in Dungannon this young man died
Dm G C
In (Prassygee) his body lies
F C
So all good people who do pass by
Dm G F C
Just shed a tear for the Croppy Boy
