The Men of No Property – Crossmaglen Lyrics

Artist: The Men of No Property
Song: Crossmaglen

As i come down by early dawn a band of young men saw, well it was the first battalion of the men from south armagh
With a billy i o and a pal and a doe and a billy i o i ay
Oh have you crossed the border man, and did you come that far? did you meet the soldiers on the road? did they have armored cars?
With a billy i o and a pal and a doe and a billy i o i ay

Well i have crossed the border man and i have traveled far. well i met the soldiers on the road that were in two armored cars
With a billy i o and a pal and a doe and a billy i o i ay
“if this be true” their leader said “it’s hеre we’ll take our stand” mcmurry gavе the order then, with a thompson in his hand
With a billy i o and a pal and a doe and a billy i o i ay

This band of freedom fighters now that numbered nearly ten, feared neither man nor devil sure, they came from crossmaglen
With a billy i o and a pal and a doe and a billy i o i ay
That car came down the road, and into view at last. well a young man pulled a plunger out, there was a mighty blast
With a billy i o and a pal and a doe and a billy i o i ay

We opened up along the ditch, with every gun we had. before the ambush finished, well we knew we hit them bad
With a billy i o and a pal and a doe and a billy i o i ay
When politicians raise their hands, an act of heresy. they let us rot for fifty years, and it was the only way
With a billy i o and a pal and a doe and a billy i o i ay
