“I'm a simple tenant farmer, from the Co. of Wicklow.”
I'm a simple tenant farmer, from the Co. of Wicklow
I always strive to gain respect no matter where I go,
It's for honesty of justice, I do solemnly declare,
I am fighting for my native land I think it only fair.
Hurrah for Mr. Parnell and his gallant little band
He did his best we must confess for his own dear native land,
I love the little spot, where I have my piece of land,
It's the farm my father tilled no mansion half so grand.This song was composed by Edward Harte of Ballas.- Collector
