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:
