The Old Bog Road: Brayton
My are here on Broadway blessed harvest morn, But oh! the ache thats in my For the where I was born. My weary hands are Through in cold and heat! And oh! to swing a scythe once Through a field of wheat. Had I the to wander 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 beyond the seas. Oh, sorrow their money, Tis to find the same, And whats the to any man If no one his name. Ive had my day and I am bricks per load. A long three thousand miles the Old Bog Road.
My died last springtime, Erins fields were green. The said her waking Was the finest seen. There snowdrops and primroses Piled high her bed, And Ferns was crowded When her funeral was read. And was I on Broadway bricks per load. When they carried out her the old Bog Road.
There was a decent girl at Who used to walk me. Her eyes were soft and moonlight oer the sea. Her was Mary Dwyer, But that was ago. The of God are wiser Than the that man might know. She the day I left her, bricks per load, Id best the days Ive spent On the old Bog Road.
Ah! Lifes a puzzle, Past out by man, Ill the day for what its worth And do the I can. Since no one a rush for me What need is to moan, Ill go my way and my pay And smoke my alone. Each human heart must its grief Though bitter be the So God be you, Ireland, And the Old Bog Road.
