The Ploughboy Lyrics by The Navigators (CAN)

2002

I once was a ploughboy but a soldier I am now
I courted lovely Molly a milkmaid I vow
I courted lovely Molly, I delight in her charms
And many’s the long night I rolled in her arms
With me rat a narry laddie fa la di do
Oh it's you lovely Molly I’ll now ask away
This ??? promotion across on the sea
And if ever I return it will be in the spring
And the lark, and the linnet, and nightingale ’d sing
With me rat a narry laddie fa la di do
You can go to all the markets, the gatherings, and fairs
You can go to church on Sunday and choose your love there
And if anybody loves you as well as I do
At the ??? of your weddin’ love so thee fare thee well adiеu
With me rat a narry laddie fa la di do
I will build me lovе a castle at the head of the town
Will neither lord, duke, or earl will e’re pull it down
If anyone asks where you are from
You can tell them you are a stranger from the county Tyrone
With me rat a narry laddie fa la di do
She sent to me a posy with a red rose so fine
I send her another it was brew mixed with thyme
Saying you can keep your red rose and I will keep my thyme
And you can drink the ??? and I will drink the ???
With me rat a narry laddie fa la di do
