Jackets Green - Mary O'Hara[00:00:00]
When i was a maiden fair and young[00:00:06]
On the pleasant banks of lee[00:00:08]
No bird that in the greenwood sung[00:00:11]
Was half so blithe and free[00:00:14]
My heart ne'er beat with flying feet[00:00:17]
No love sang me his queen[00:00:20]
Till down the glen rode sarsfield's men[00:00:22]
And they wore the jackets green[00:00:25]
No hoarded wealth did my love own[00:00:28]
Save the good sword that he bore[00:00:31]
But i loved him for himself alone[00:00:33]
And the colour bright he wore[00:00:36]
For had he come in england's red[00:00:39]
To make me england's queen[00:00:41]
I'd rove the high green hills instead[00:00:44]
For the sake of the irish green[00:00:47]
When william stormed with shot and shell[00:00:50]
At the walls of garryowen[00:00:53]
Towards in the breach my donal fell[00:00:56]
And he sleeps near the treaty stone[00:00:59]
That breach the foeman never crossed[00:01:02]
While he swung his broadsword keen[00:01:05]
But i do not weep my darling lost[00:01:07]
For he fell in his jacket green[00:01:11]
