the blackbird of mullamore - bert jansch lyrics

Loading...

oh come all ye brave young fellows that wander by this way
if you call in for to have a glass, there’s a reckoning you must pay
i’ll supply you with a good friend, and your cheques’ll join encore
and you’ll see my blackbird clocking on the hills of mullaghmore

well, it’s for your loyal blackbird; she is the best of game
her off*spring are well proven in america, france and spain
her cheque has gained her credit upon manys a foreign shore
now she’s sitting clocking on the hills of mullaghmore

well, it’s for your loyal blackbird; they didn’t use her well
and the hardship she has lived now, there’s no mortal man can tell
when her cage door it was opened, they rushed them in a score
and they put my blackbird from clocking on the hills of mullaghmore

so our blackbird’s going to leave us now, which grieves the neighbours all
and i hope she’ll have good fortune until on her we do call
she’s going over yonder mountain for to rest in a fine still
and she’ll found her summer season at the foot of sheep hill

and our blackbird’s coming home again but not to the same place
and i hope your friends and neighbours will not bring to her such disgrace
for the lovely lark and linnet and the thrush will join encore
for to welcome home our blackbird to the hills of mullaghmore
