The Merry Ploughboy CAPO 2
CG7C I am a merry ploughboy, and I plow the fields by day, G7C Till a sudden thought came to my mind, that I should run away, G7C Now I've always hated slavery, since the day that I was born, G7C So I'm off to join the IRA, and I'm off tomorrow morn.
(CHORUS:)
So, we're off to Dublin, in the Green in the Green, Where the helmets glisten in the sun, Where the bayonets flash and the rifles crash, To the echo of a Thompson gun.
Now I leave aside my old gray coat, and I leave aside my plough, And I leave aside my horse and yoke, no more I'll need them now. And I'll take my short revolver, and my bandolier of lead, And live or die I can but try to avenge my countries dead.
CHO:
Now there's one I leave behind me, she's the coleen I adore, And I wonder will she think of me, when she hears them cannons roar, Ah, but when the war is over, and when dear old Ireland's free, I will take her to the church to wed, and a rebels wife she'll be.
