Lloyd - Mccassery слова песни

McCasseryKind friends take warning by my sad taleAs I lay here in Strangeways GaolMy thoughts, my feelings, no tongue can tellAs I am listening to the prison bell.When I was seventeen year of ageInto the army I did engage.I did enlist with a good intentTo join the Forty Second Regiment.To Fullwood Barracks I did goTo serve some time at that depot.From trouble there I necer was freeBecause my captain took a dislike to me.When I was stationed on guard one daySome children came near me to play,My officer from his quarters cameAnd ordered me to take their parents` name.My officer`s orders I did fulfillI took their name against my will.I took one name instead of three"Neglect of Duty" was the charge against me.In the orderly-room next morning I did appearMy C.O. refused my plea to hear,Anf quickly he had signed my crimeAnd to Fullwood Barracks I was then confined.With a loaded rifle I did prepareTo shoot my captain on the barrack square;It was Captain Neill that I meant to kill,But I shot my colonel against my will.I done the deed, I shed his blood,And at Liverpool Assizes my trial stood;The judge he says, "McCasseryPrepare yourself for the gallows-tree."I have no father to take my partI have no mother to break her heart,I have one friend, and a girl is sheWould lay down her life for McCassery.In Liverpool City this young man was triedIn Strangeways, Manchester, his body lies.And all you young soldiers who pass his grave,Pray: Lord have mercy on McCassery.From Lloyd, Folk Song in England. Sometimes called McCafferty.See also CROPPY2filename[ MCASSERYplay.exe MCASSERYRG===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
