McCafferty - The Dubliners[00:00:00]

When I was eighteen years of age[00:00:02]

Into the army I did engage[00:00:07]

I left my home with a good intent[00:00:12]

For to join the forty-second regiment[00:00:16]

While I was posted on guard one day[00:00:21]

Some soldiers' children came out to play[00:00:26]

From the officers' quarters my captain came[00:00:31]

And he ordered me for to take their names[00:00:36]

I took one name instead of three[00:00:42]

On neglect of duty they then charged me[00:00:46]

I was confined to barracks with loss of pay[00:00:51]

For doing my duty the opposite way[00:00:56]

A loaded rifle I did prepare[00:01:02]

For to shoot my captain in the barracks square[00:01:06]

It was my captain I meant to kill[00:01:11]

But I shot my colonel against my will[00:01:16]

At Liverpool Assizes my trial I stood[00:01:22]

And I held my courage as best I could[00:01:27]

Then the old judge said Now McCafferty[00:01:32]

Go prepare your soul for eternity[00:01:37]

I had no father to take my part[00:01:43]

No loving mother to break her heart[00:01:47]

I had one friend and a girl was she[00:01:52]

Who'd lay down her life for McCafferty[00:01:57]

So come all you officers take advice from me[00:02:03]

And go treat your men with some decency[00:02:08]

For it's only lies and a tyranny[00:02:13]

That have made a murderer of McCafferty"[00:02:18]
