The Pogues - Young Ned Of The Hill
Am Em Am Em
Have you ever walked the lonesome hills, and heard the curlew's cry
Am Em Am
Or seen the raven black as night, upon a windswept sky
Am Em C G
To walk the purple heather, and hear the west wind cry
Am Em Am Em Am
To know that's where the rapparee must die. (2x)
Am Em | Am Em Am | Am Em | Am Em Am
Am Em Am Em
Since Cromwell pushed us westward, to live our lowly lives
Am Em Am
Some of us have deemed to fight, from Tipperary mountains high
Am Em C G
Noble men with wills of iron, who are not afraid to die
Am Em Am Em Am
Who'll fight with gaelic honour held on high. (2x)
Am Em Am Em
A curse upon you Oliver Cromwell, you who raped out motherland
Am Em Am
I hope you're rotting down in hell, for the horrors that you sent
Am Em C G
To our misfortunate forefathers, whom you robbed of their birthright
Am Em Am Em Am
To hell or Connaught, may you burn in hell tonight.
Am Em | Am Em Am
Am Em Am Em
Of one such man I'd like to speak, a rapparee by name and deed
Am Em Am
His family dispossessed and slaughtered, they put a price upon his head
Am Em C G
His name is known in song and story, and his deeds are legend still
Am Em Am Em Am
And murdered for blood money, was young Ned of the hill.
Am Em Am Em
You have robbed our homes and fortunes, even drove us from the land,
Am Em Am
you tried to break our spirits, but you'll never understand,
Am Em C G
the love of dear old Ireland, that will forge an iron will,
Am Em Am Em Am
as long as there are gallant men, like young Ned of the hill.
Am Em Am Em
A curse upon you Oliver Cromwell, you who raped our motherland,
Am Em Am
I hope you rotting down in hell, for the horrors that you sent,
Am Em C G
to our misfortunate forefathers, whom you robbed of their birthright
Am Em Am Em Am
To hell or Connaught, may you burn in hell tonight
