The Old Bog Teresa Brayton
My feet are here on This harvest morn, But oh! the thats in my heart For the where I was born. My weary hands are Through in cold and heat! And oh! to a scythe once more Through a field of wheat. Had I the to wander back, Or own a abode. Id sooner see the hawthorn By the Old Bog Road.
When I was and restless My was ill at ease, Through of America, And the gold the seas. Oh, sorrow their money, Tis to find the same, And the world to any man If no one his name. Ive had my day and I am bricks per load. A long three thousand away the Old Bog Road.
My died last springtime, When fields were green. The neighbours said her Was the finest seen. There were snowdrops and Piled above her bed, And Ferns Church was When her funeral was read. And here was I on bricks per load. When carried out her coffin the old Bog Road.
There was a decent at home Who used to with me. Her eyes were and sorrowful moonlight oer the sea. Her name was Dwyer, But that was ago. The of God are wiser Than the that man might know. She the day I left her, bricks per load, Id best forget the Ive spent On the old Bog Road.
Ah! a weary puzzle, Past out by man, Ill take the day for what its And do the I can. no one cares a rush for me What is there to moan, Ill go my way and my pay And smoke my alone. human heart must bear its grief Though be the bode So God be you, Ireland, And the Old Bog Road.
