McCafferty (1993 - Remaster) - The Dubliners[00:00:00]

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

Into the army I did engage[00:00:04]

I left my home with a good intent[00:00:07]

For to join the forty-second regiment[00:00:11]

While I was posted on guard one day[00:00:13]

Some soldiers' children came out to play[00:00:17]

From the officers' quarters my captain came[00:00:20]

And he ordered me for to take their names[00:00:23]

I took one name instead of three[00:00:34]

On neglect of duty they then charged me[00:00:35]

I was confined to barracks with loss of pay[00:00:37]

For doing my duty the opposite way[00:00:46]

A loaded rifle I did prepare[00:00:50]

For to shoot my captain in the barracks square[00:00:52]

It was my captain I meant to kill[00:00:55]

But I shot my colonel against my will[00:00:58]

At Liverpool Assizes my trial I stood[00:01:02]

And I held my courage as best I could[00:01:05]

Then the old judge said Now McCafferty[00:01:11]

Go prepare your soul for eternity[00:01:12]

I had no father to take my part[00:01:15]

No loving mother to break her heart[00:01:18]

I had one friend and a girl was she[00:01:24]

Who'd lay down her life for McCafferty[00:01:27]

So come all you officers take advice from me[00:01:33]

And go treat your men with some decency[00:01:36]

For it's only lies and a tyranny[00:02:18]

That have made a murderer of McCafferty"[00:02:21]
