McCafferty - Aran Folk-歌词

McCafferty - Aran Folk

When I was eighteen years of age

Into the army I did engage

I left me home with a good intent

For to join the forty-second regiment

As I was posted on guard one day

Some soldiers' children came out to play

From the officers' quarters me captain came

And he ordered me for to take their names

I took one name instead of three

On neglect of duty they then charged me

As confined to barracks with loss of pay

For doing me duty the opposite way

A loaded rifle I did prepare

For to shoot me captain on the barracks square

It was me captain that I meant to kill

But I shot me colonel against me will

At Liverpool Assizes me trial I stood

And I held me courage as best I could

And the old judge said

Now McCafferty

Go prepare your soul for eternity

Well I had no father to take me part

Had no loving mother to break her heart

I had one friend and a girl was she

Who'd lay down her life for McCafferty

So come all you officers take advice from me

And go treat your men with some dignity

It's only lies and a tyranny

That has made a murderer of McCafferty
