The Old Bog Road: Brayton
My feet are on Broadway This harvest morn, But oh! the thats in my heart For the spot I was born. My weary are blistered Through work in and heat! And oh! to a scythe once more Through a field of wheat. Had I the chance to back, Or own a abode. Id see the hawthorn tree By the Old Bog Road.
When I was and restless My was ill at ease, dreaming of America, And the beyond the seas. Oh, sorrow rake money, Tis to find the same, And whats the to any man If no one his name. Ive had my day and I am A-building per load. A long thousand miles away the Old Bog Road.
My died last springtime, Erins fields were green. The said her waking Was the ever seen. There were and primroses Piled above her bed, And Ferns Church was When her funeral was read. And was I on Broadway A-building per load. When carried out her coffin the old Bog Road.
There was a decent at home Who used to walk me. Her eyes were and sorrowful Like oer the sea. Her was Mary Dwyer, But that was ago. The ways of God are the things that man might know. She the day I left her, A-building per load, Id forget the days Ive spent On the old Bog Road.
Ah! a weary puzzle, finding out by man, Ill take the day for its worth And do the I can. Since no one cares a for me What is there to moan, Ill go my way and my pay And smoke my alone. Each human must bear its grief Though bitter be the So God be you, Ireland, And the Old Bog Road.
