The Merry Ploughboy

CAPO 2

C G7 C

I am a merry ploughboy, and I plow the fields by day,

G7 C

Till a sudden thought came to my mind, that I should run away,

G7 C

Now I've always hated slavery, since the day that I was born,

G7 C

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.

CHO:
