Amhrán
“Come all you loyal heroes, ¶ Where ever you may be”
Come all you loyal heroes.
Where ever you may be.
Don't hire with your master.
Till you know what your work will be.
For you must rise up early.
From the clear daylight till dawn.
And you never will be able to plough the Rocks of Bán.My shoes now are worn and my stockings they are thin.
My heart is always shivering from for fear I'd wear them.
My heart is always shivering from the clear daylight till dawn.
For I never will be able to plough the Rocks of Bán.My curse attend you Sweeney.
You have me nearly robbed.
You're sitting in the corner.
With your pipe in your gob.
You're sitting in the corner,
From the clear daylight till dawn.
For you never will be able to plough the Rocks of Bán.(continues on next page)
