The Old Bog Road: Teresa
My are here on Broadway blessed harvest morn, But oh! the thats in my heart For the where I was born. My weary are blistered work in cold and heat! And oh! to swing a scythe more Through a of Irish wheat. Had I the chance to back, Or own a abode. Id sooner see the tree By the Old Bog Road.
I was young and restless My was ill at ease, Through of America, And the gold the seas. Oh, rake their money, Tis hard to the same, And whats the to any man If no one his name. Ive had my day and I am A-building per load. A long three miles away the Old Bog Road.
My died last springtime, When Erins were green. The said her waking Was the finest seen. There were and primroses Piled above her bed, And Church was crowded her funeral Mass was read. And was I on Broadway A-building per load. they carried out her coffin the old Bog Road.
There was a decent at home Who to walk with me. Her were soft and sorrowful Like oer the sea. Her name was Dwyer, But that was ago. The of God are wiser Than the that man might know. She the day I left her, A-building per load, Id best forget the days Ive On the old Bog Road.
Ah! a weary puzzle, finding out by man, Ill take the day for its worth And do the I can. no one cares a rush for me What need is to moan, Ill go my way and my pay And smoke my alone. Each human must bear its grief bitter be the bode So God be you, Ireland, And the Old Bog Road.
