Young Ned Of The Hill - The Pogues[00:00:01]
Have you ever walked the lonesome hills[00:00:23]
And heard the curlews cry[00:00:27]
Or seen the raven black as night[00:00:29]
Upon a windswept sky[00:00:32]
To walk the purple heather[00:00:35]
And hear the westwind cry[00:00:38]
To know that's where the rapparee must die[00:00:40]
Since cromwell pushed us westward[00:00:52]
To live our lowly lives[00:00:54]
There's some of us have deemed to fight[00:00:56]
From tipperary mountains high[00:00:58]
Noble men with wills of iron[00:01:00]
Who are not afraid to die[00:01:01]
Who'll fight with gaelic honour held on high[00:01:04]
A curse upon you oliver cromwell[00:01:06]
You who raped our motherland[00:01:09]
I hope you're rotting down in hell[00:01:11]
For the horrors that you sent[00:01:13]
To our misfortunate forefathers[00:01:15]
Whom you robbed of their birthright[00:01:17]
"to hell or connaught" may you burn in hell tonight[00:01:19]
Of one such man i'd like to speak[00:01:25]
A rapparee by name and deed[00:01:28]
His family dispossessed and slaughtered[00:01:29]
They put a price upon his head[00:01:30]
His name is known in song and story[00:01:33]
His deeds are legends still[00:01:35]
And murdered for blood money[00:01:37]
Was young ned of the hill[00:01:39]
A curse upon you oliver cromwell[00:01:41]
You who raped our motherland[00:01:42]
I hope you're rotting down in hell[00:01:44]
For the horrors that you sent[00:01:47]
To our misfortunate forefathers[00:01:49]
Whom you robbed of their birthright[00:01:50]
"to hell or connaught" may you burn in hell tonight[00:01:59]
You have robbed our homes and fortunes[00:02:02]
Even drove us from our land[00:02:03]
You tried to break our spirit[00:02:04]
But you'll never understand[00:02:07]
The love of dear old ireland[00:02:08]
That will forge an iron will[00:02:10]
As long as there are gallant men[00:02:12]
Like young ned of the hill[00:02:13]
