the newry highwayman - solas lyrics

Loading...

in newry town i was bred and born
in stephens green now i lie in scorn
i served me time at the saddler’s trade
i always was a roving blade
i always was a roving blade

at seventeen i took a wife
i loved her dearer than i loved me life
and so to keep her both fine and gay
i went out robbing on the king’s highway
i went out robbing on the king’s highway

i never robbed a poor man yet
nor lately caused anyone to fret
but i robbed lords and ladies fine
and i carried the gold home to me heart’s delight
i carried the gold home to me heart’s delight

i robbed lord baldwin, i do declare
and lady manswell up in grovenors square
i closed me shutters and bade them good night
and i carried the gold home to me heart’s delight
i carried the gold home to me heart’s delight

to covent garden i made my way
with me dear wife for to see the play
the fielding’s men there did me pursue
and i was taken by that cursed crew
oh i was taken by that cursed crew

my father cried, “oh me darling son”
my wife, she cried, “now i am undone”
my mother tore her gray locks and cried
it’s in the cradle i should have died
it’s in the cradle i should have died

when i am dead, i want for my grave
a flashy funeral pray let me have
six highwaymen for to carry me
oh give them broadswords and sweet liberty
oh give them broadswords and sweet liberty
