Y'all's my greats, My great, great granddad was a A monarch stout and He this land so green And he said, "She's and humble"
As far as the eye can see From Carrantuohill to Causeway Was ours they went And made a of me
a Celtic head had rolled And upon the hillside And they bathed horses hooves In Hibernian blood and hide
In exile, they did Set up a and home there 'Til the and the bailiff Made it
Oh, and on the road they to run Run the runnin's done Far away fettered chain The land was to barter
We succumb from sweat and And look they're right behind If they me boys I know make a criminal of me
A of me, a criminal of me A forever, hungering eternally A of me, a criminal of me Run, run, they make a criminal of me
the sea they sailed To a both bright and noble For they'd watched neighbors starve And the bloodline as it
As they the safer side Old Papa to Jimmy To try and a life So they'd not make a of he
"Go be alert", Da Do not for the gentry" Tho' but proud was he Whenever called discretely
Well, he'd smash their 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 done Far away fettered chain The was ours to barter
We succumb from sweat and And they're right behind again If they catch me, I they'll make a criminal of me
A of me, a criminal of me A wandering forever, 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 wandering forever, hungering Oh a of me, oh a criminal of me Run, run, they make a criminal of me
Oh, now my boss he so gay So gaily up the While I dull the pain in Still afford to eat
He is dashing, he is And never want you see Even as the shuts His reflect the criminal in me
Violent and now in the street nothing to sustain me I'm gonna die in this hole The kids I can't take of with me
But it be taught to let the blame And hatred out of their For and danger make you Just another pathetic, drunken, paddy dead
On the they came to run Run until the done Far away from fettered The land was ours to
We succumb from and strain And look they're behind again If they me boys I know 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, they make a criminal of me
Run, run, before make a criminal of me Run, run, before they a criminal of me
