 G                C
‘Twas early early in the spring
    Am        D7          G
The birds did whistle and sweetly sing
                          C       G
Changing their notes from tree to tree
        Am        D7                   G
And the song they sang was Old Ireland free.
 
 
 G                C
‘Twas early early in the night
    Am        D7        G
The Yeoman cavalry gave me a fright
                       C      G
The yeoman cavalry was my downfall
    Am         D7            G
and taken was I by Lord Cornwall.
 
 
 G                  C
As I was walking up Wexford Hill
    Am          D7            G
Who would blame me to cry my fill?
                       C        G
I looked behind, and I looked before
    Am            D7              G
But my aged mother I shall see no more.
 
 
 G                   C
As I was walking' up Wexford Street
   Am         D7                  G
My own first cousin I chanced to meet;
                        C     G
My own first cousin did me betray
    Am           D7               G
And for one bare guinea sold life away
 
 
G                    C
And as I mounted the platform high
   Am         D7            G
My aged father was standing by;
                  C     G
My aged father did me deny
        Am           D7                G
And the name he gave me was the Croppy Boy.
 
 
 G                      C
It was in Dungannon this young man died
    Am          D7         G
And in Dungannon his body lies
                         C       G
And you good people that do pass by
   Am          D7             G
Oh shed a tear for the Croppy Boy.
