Black Cavalry lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Black Cavalry lyrics BLACK CAVALRY In the first of me downfall I put out the door, And I straight made me way on for Carrick-on-Suir; Going out by Rathronan twas late in the night Going out the west gate for to view the gaslight cho: Radley fal the diddle I      Radley fal the riddle airo. There I met with a youth and unto him I said "Would you kindly direct me to where I ll get a bed?" It was then he directed me down to Cook s Lane, To where old Dick Darby kept an old sleeping cage There I put up and down til I found out the door, And I cried, "Must I then spend the night on the floor?"* And the missus came out and these words to me said, "If you give me three coppers I ll give you a bed." She took me upstairs and she put out the light, And in less than five minutes I had to show fight. In less than five more, sure the story was worse, For the fleas came about me and brought me a curse. All round me body they formed an arch, And all round me body they played the dead march. The bloody old major gave me such a nip That he nearly had taken the use of me hip. Now I m going to me study, these lines to pen down, And if any poor traveler should e er come to town, If any poor traveler [be knighted] (benighted?) like me, Oh, beware of Dick Darby and the black cavalry. * line missing, faked by RG From The Irish Songbook, Clancys Recorded by Clancys filename[ BLKCVLRY play.exe BLKCVLRY RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY=== song lyrics
