Planxty - Lord Baker

It's an absolutly wonderful anti-recruiting song, probably 19th century and vividly brought to life by a terrific interpretation from Andy Irvine. Pat Reilly Other titles: An old song from the heart, "spelt by the unlettered muse," preserved here for old time's sake. In verse four the air is repeated for lines five and six.

It being on a Monday morning, it being our pay day, I met Sergeant Jenkins at our going away; Says he to Pat Reilly, 'You're a handsome young man, We'll go down to John Kelly's, where we'll get a dram. It's not in the morning that I sing this song, But it's in the cold evening when I walk my lone, With my gun o'er my shoulder I bitterly weep When I think of my beloved one that's now fast asleep. My blessing on my mother, reared me neat and clean; Bad luck to my father, made me serve the queen.

If he had been honest and learned me my trade, I never would have listed or worn the cockade. VWML cass - tune: It is a product of the nineteenth century Irish popular press. Click here for a Newfoundland version which seems close to his.
