Written by The Clancy Brothers

Capo on 4th fret
	  		
 


Intro: C   F   G 

verse 1: 
N.C.          C                F 
It was early, early all in the spring 
    Dm                    G         C 
The birds did whistle and sweetly sing 
                          F       C 
Changing their notes from tree to tree 
        Dm        G            F       C 
And the song they sang was Old Ireland Free 


verse 2: 
N.C.          C         F 
It was early, early all in the night 
           Dm           G          C 
The Yeoman cavalry gave me a fright 
                        F      C 
The yeoman cavalry were my downfall 
            Dm          G        F    C 
I was taken prisoner by Lord Cornwall 


INTERLUDE: C     F    G 


verse 3: 
N.C.     C                  F 
As I was walking up Wexford Street 
   Dm                 G          C 
My own first cousin I chanced to meet 
                        F    C 
My own first cousin did me betray 
        Dm       G              F     C 
And for one bare guinea sold my life away 


verse 4: 
N.C.         C                  F 
And as I was walking up Wexford Hill 
    Dm                    G          C 
Oh, who could blame me to cry my fill? 
                      F        C 
I looked behind and I looked before 
              Dm     G       F      C 
But my tender mother I could see no more 


INTERLUDE: C     F    G 


VERSE 5: 
N.C.         C              F 
And as I was mounted on the scaffold high 
            Dm         G         C 
My own dear father was standing by 
                   F    C 
My aged father did me deny 
        Dm      G               F         C 
And the name he gave me was the Croppy Boy 

  
VERSE 6: 
N.C.         C           F 
It was in Dungannon this young man died 
    Dm    G             C 
In (Prassygee) his body lies 
                       F       C 
So all good people who do pass by 
            Dm  G        F      C 
Just shed a tear for the Croppy Boy 


OUTRO: C    F    G    C
