J. Ferguson, 2019) • V1. • D A • Oh I am a merry ploughboy, • A7 D • and I plough the fields all day, • A A7 • 'till a sudden thought came to my mind, • G D • that I should run away. • Well I'm sick and tired of slavery, • since the day that I was born, • so I'm off to join the IRA, • and I'm off tomorrow morn. • Chorus: • D A • And I'm off to Dublin in the green, in the green, • A7 D • where the helmets glisten in the sun, • A A7 • where the bayonets flash, and the rifles clash • G D • to the echo of a Thompson gun. • V2. • I'll leave aside my pick and spade, • and I'll leave aside my plough, • and I'll leave aside my old grey mare, • for no more I'll need them now. • And I'll leave aside my Mary— • she's the girl that I adore. • Well, I wonder if she'll think of me • when she hears the canons roar. • V3. • And when this war is over, • and dear old Ireland's free, • I'll take her to the church to wed • and a rebel's wife she'll be.
