Y'all's my greats, My great, granddad was a king A monarch stout and He this land so green And he said, "She's and humble"
As far as the eye can see Carrantuohill to Giant's Causeway Was ours they went And made a of me
Many a head had rolled And upon the hillside And they bathed horses hooves In Hibernian and their hide
In exile, did flee Set up a church and home 'Til the and the bailiff Made it
Oh, and on the they came to run Run until the runnin's Far away from fettered The land was ours to
We succumb from and strain And look they're behind again If they catch me I know they'll a criminal of me
A of me, a criminal of me A forever, hungering eternally A criminal of me, a of me Run, run, they make a criminal of me
Across the sea they To a both bright and noble For watched their neighbors starve And the bloodline as it
As they reached the safer Old said to Jimmy To try and a life So they'd not a criminal of he
"Go be alert", Da Do not for the gentry" Tho' but proud was he Whenever they discretely
Well, smash their faces in And in jail he poorly But he "Don't let them try and a criminal of ye"
On the road came to run Run until the runnin's Far away fettered chain The land was ours to
We succumb from and strain And look they're right behind If catch me, boys I know make a criminal of me
A criminal of me, a of me A forever, hungering eternally A criminal of me, a of me Run, run, they make a criminal of me
Oh a of me, a criminal of me A forever, hungering eternally Oh a of me, oh a criminal of me Run, run, before make a criminal of me
Oh, now my boss he so gay So gaily up the I dull the pain in pubs Still can't to eat
He is dashing, he is And he'll never you see Even as the shuts His shoes reflect the in me
and drunk now in the street With to sustain me I'm gonna die in this hole The I can't take care of with me
But it be taught to let the blame And hatred out of their For anger and make you Just another pathetic, drunken, violent paddy
On the they came to run Run the runnin's done Far from fettered chain The land was to barter
We succumb sweat and strain And they're right behind again If they me boys I know they'll make a of me
Oh a of me, a criminal of me A forever, hungering eternally Oh a criminal of me, oh a of me Run, run, before they a criminal of me
Run, run, before they make a of me Run, run, before they make a of me
