What Are The Lyrics For McCafferty By The Dubliners?
When I was eighteen years of age
Into the army I did engage I left my home with a good intent For to join the forty-second regiment While I was posted on guard one day Some soldiers' children came out to play From the officers' quarters my captain came And he ordered me for to take their names I took one name instead of three On neglect of duty they then charged me I was confined to barracks with loss of pay For doing my duty the opposite way A loaded rifle I did prepare For to shoot my captain in the barracks square It was my captain I meant to kill But I shot my colonel against my will At Liverpool Assizes my trial I stood And I held my courage as best I could Then the old judge said, Now, McCafferty Go prepare your soul for eternity I had no father to take my part No loving mother to break her heart I had one friend and a girl was she Who'd lay down her life for McCafferty So come all you officers take advice from me And go treat your men with some decency For it's only lies and a tyranny That have made a murderer of McCafferty |
