Paddy Goes To Holyhead
Dead And Gone
My heart is sad oh I'm so lonely thinking of the one I lovenever in my life I'll meet her unless in heaven high aboveshe told me that she dearly loved me ne'er she'd been untrue to meuntil the day I saw her walking "another man, another life" said sheBury me in young green meadow lay the sod o'er meunder the shade of wheeping willow treeyou rambilng boys of pleasure are always on the runnow I'm dead and gone.I spied them standing near the river he kissed her in the broad day-lightI shot the lady and her lover and laid their corpses side by sideBury me in young green meadow lay the sod o'er meunder the shade of wheeping willow treeyou rambling boys of pleasure are always on the runnow I'm dead and gone.The coppers brought me up to prison the judge said young man you did wrongthe hangman led me to the gallows he pulled the rope and I got hungBury me in young green meadow lay the sod o'er meunder the shade of wheeping willow treeyou rambling boys of pleasure are always on the runnow I'm dead and gone.
