Y'all's my greats, My great, granddad was a king A monarch and noble He surveyed land so green And he said, "She's and humble"
As far as the eye can see From Carrantuohill to Causeway Was ours until went And a criminal of me
a Celtic head had rolled And rolled upon the And they bathed their horses In Hibernian blood and hide
In exile, did flee Set up a church and there the landlord and the bailiff Made it
Oh, and on the road came to run Run until the done Far away from chain The land was to barter
We succumb from and strain And look right behind again If catch me boys I know they'll a criminal of me
A of me, a criminal of me A wandering forever, hungering A criminal of me, a of me Run, run, before they a criminal of me
Across the sea sailed To a both bright and noble For they'd watched neighbors starve And the bloodline as it
As they reached the side Old Papa said to 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 called discretely
Well, smash their faces in And in he died poorly But he "Don't let try and make a criminal of ye"
On the road came to run Run the runnin's done Far from fettered chain The was ours 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
A criminal of me, a of me A wandering forever, hungering A criminal of me, a of me Run, run, before make a criminal of me
Oh a criminal of me, a of me A wandering forever, hungering Oh a criminal of me, oh a of me Run, run, before they a criminal of me
Oh, now my he steps so gay So up the street While I dull the pain in can't afford to eat
He is dashing, he is And he'll never you see Even as the factory His reflect the criminal in me
Violent and drunk now in the With nothing to 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 and danger make you another pathetic, drunken, violent paddy dead
On the they came to run Run the runnin's done Far away from fettered The land was ours to
We succumb from and strain And look right behind again If they catch me I they'll make a criminal of me
Oh a of me, a criminal of me A wandering forever, eternally Oh a of me, oh a criminal of me Run, run, before make a criminal of me
Run, run, they make a criminal of me Run, run, they make a criminal of me
