Paddy Goes To Holyhead - Dead And Gone lyrics

My heart is sad, oh I′m so lonely, thinking of the one I love Never in my life I′ll meet her, unless in Heaven high above She told me that she dearly loved me, ne′er she′d been untrue to me Until the day I saw her walking, another man - another life, said she [chorus:] Bury me in young green meadow, lay the sod o′er me Under the shade of a wheeping willow-tree You rambling boys of pleasure, always on the run Now I′m dead and gone I spied them standing near the river, he kissed her in the broad day-light I shot the lady and her lover, and laid their corpses side by side [chorus] The coppers brought me up to prison, the judge said: "Young man, you did wrong!" The hangman led me to the gallows, he pulled the rope and I got hung [chorus]
