Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление




[Verse 1]
C                   F
It was early, early in the spring
    Dm                     G7
The birds did whistle and sweetly sing
   C                       G7     Am
Changing their notes from tree to tree
        F              G7        C
And the song they sang was "Ould Ireland Free"

[Verse 2]
C                   F
As I was walking up Wexford Street
    Dm                  G7
My own first cousin I chanced to meet
   C                    G7     Am
My own first cousin did me betray
        F         G7              C
And for one bare guinea swore my life away

[Verse 3]
C                      F
It was early early all in the night
    Dm                  G7
The yeoman cavalry gave me a fright
    C                     G7   Am
The yeoman cavalry was my downfall
     F          G7  C
And taken was I by Lord Cornwall

[Verse 4]
C                   F
As I was walking up Wexford Hill
    Dm                 G7
Who could blame me to cry my fill?
  C                     G7     Am
I looked behind, and I looked before
    F           G7          C
But my aged mother I shall see no more

[Verse 5]
C                         F
And when I stood on the Scaffold high
    Dm                   G7
My own dear father was standing by
         C                   G7   Am
Well, my own dear father did me deny
        F               G7       C
And the name he gave me was the Croppy Boy

[Verse 6]
C                          F
In Dungannon Town now this boy died
           Dm                   G7
And in Dungannon Town does his body lie
   C                       G7     Am
So all your strangers that do pass by
        F            G7        C
Just go shed a tear for the Croppy Boy
