The Merry Ploughboy 
The Merry Ploughboy 
I am a merry ploughboy I plough the fields all day, But a notion came into my head That I should run away I'm tired of civilian life, since the day that I was born And I'm off to join the I.R.A. I'm tomorrow morn. 
cho: We're off to Dublin in the green In the green, Where the helmets glisten in the sun Where bayonets flash and rifles clash To the echoes of a Thompson Gun.
