The Old Bog Teresa Brayton
My are here on Broadway This harvest morn, But oh! the thats in my heart For the spot I was born. My weary are blistered Through in cold and heat! And oh! to swing a scythe once 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.
When I was and restless My was ill at ease, dreaming of America, And the gold the seas. Oh, rake their money, Tis hard to the same, And the world to any man If no one his name. Ive had my day and I am A-building per load. A long thousand miles away the Old Bog Road.
My died last springtime, When Erins fields green. The said her waking Was the ever seen. There were and primroses Piled high her bed, And Ferns Church was When her funeral was read. And here was I on A-building per load. When carried out her coffin the old Bog Road.
There was a girl at home Who to walk with me. Her eyes were 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 Ive spent On the old Bog Road.
Ah! a weary puzzle, finding out by man, Ill take the day for what its 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 heart bear its grief Though be the bode So God be you, Ireland, And the Old Bog Road.
