From the officers quarters my captain came, i left my home with a good intent, who d lay down her life for mccafferty
who d lay down her life for mccafferty
It was my captain i meant to kill, then the old judge said
I took one name instead of three, while i was posted on guard one day, then the old judge said
For doing my duty the opposite way, i left my home with a good intent
at liverpool assizes my trial i stood
Who d lay down her life for mccafferty, from the officers quarters my captain came
Who d lay down her life for mccafferty, and go treat your men with some decency
For to shoot my captain in the barracks square, on neglect of duty they then charged me
into the army i did engage
for it s only lies and a tyranny
I had no father to take my part, i had one friend and a girl was she
I was confined to barracks with loss of pay, i was confined to barracks with loss of pay
I had no father to take my part, for to shoot my captain in the barracks square
I had one friend and a girl was she, who d lay down her life for mccafferty, no loving mother to break her heart
So come all you officers take advice from me, i left my home with a good intent
When i was eighteen years of age, for to shoot my captain in the barracks square, while i was posted on guard one day
who d lay down her life for mccafferty
I left my home with a good intent, and i held my courage as best i could
i left my home with a good intent
At liverpool assizes my trial i stood, for it s only lies and a tyranny, while i was posted on guard one day
A loaded rifle i did prepare, i had no father to take my part, some soldiers children came out to play
Who d lay down her life for mccafferty, for to shoot my captain in the barracks square The, for doing my duty the opposite way
into the army i did engage
For to shoot my captain in the barracks square, on neglect of duty they then charged me, i had no father to take my part
so come all you officers take advice from me
Who d lay down her life for mccafferty, but i shot my colonel against my will Dubliners, i had no father to take my part
go prepare your soul for eternity
Some soldiers children came out to play, and go treat your men with some decency McCafferty, and go treat your men with some decency
go prepare your soul for eternity
Who d lay down her life for mccafferty, i left my home with a good intent
A loaded rifle i did prepare, for to shoot my captain in the barracks square, a loaded rifle i did prepare
And i held my courage as best i could, for to join the forty-second regiment
Then the old judge said, i had one friend and a girl was she
I left my home with a good intent, and go treat your men with some decency, it was my captain i meant to kill
I left my home with a good intent, so come all you officers take advice from me
When i was eighteen years of age, into the army i did engage
While i was posted on guard one day, who d lay down her life for mccafferty The, some soldiers children came out to play
for doing my duty the opposite way
It was my captain i meant to kill, for to join the forty-second regiment
At liverpool assizes my trial i stood, i took one name instead of three McCafferty, when i was eighteen years of age
It was my captain i meant to kill, and i held my courage as best i could The, at liverpool assizes my trial i stood
While i was posted on guard one day, some soldiers children came out to play, no loving mother to break her heart
Into the army i did engage, at liverpool assizes my trial i stood
And i held my courage as best i could, for doing my duty the opposite way
For to shoot my captain in the barracks square, that have made a murderer of mccafferty
Then the old judge said, i had no father to take my part
