The Rocks of Bawn

Ah Come all ye Loyal Heroes
Wherever you may roam
Don't Hire with any master
Til you know what your work will be
For he'll rise you bright and early
From the clear daylight until dawn
I'm afraid I won't be able
To plough the Rocks of Bawn

My shoes they are well worn
My stockings they are thin
My heart is always trembling
Afraid it might give in
My heart is always trembling
From the clear daylight until dawn
I'm afraid I won't be able
To Plough the Rocks of Bawn

Me Curse upon you Sweeney
Sure you have me nearly robbed
Your sitting by the fireside
With your feet upon the hob
Your sitting by the Fireside
From the clear daylight until dawn
I'm afraid you won't be able
To plough the Rocks of Bawn

I wish the Queen of England
Would write to me in time
And place me in some regiment
All in my youth and prime
I'd fight for Ireland's Freedom
From the clear daylight until dawn
And I never would return again
To plough the Rocks of Bawn

I never would return again
To plough the Rocks of Bawn
