dubliners - van diemen's land كلمات الأغنية

come all you gallant poachers,
that ramble void of care,
that walk out on a moonlight night
with your dog, your gun and snare.
the harmless hare and pheasant
you have at your command,
not thinkin’ of your last career
upon van dieman’s land.

and she gave us all good usage
going to van dieman’s land.

the very day we landed
upon that fateful sh-r-,
the planters came round us,
some forty score or more;
they ranked us off like horses
and sold us out of hand,
and yoked us to the plough, brave boys,
to plough van dieman’s land.

god bless our wives and families,
likewise that happy sh-r-,
that isle of sweet contentment
which we shall see no more;
as for the wretched females,
see them we seldom can,
there are fourteen men to every woman
in van dieman’s land.

oh, if i had a thousand pounds
all laid out in my hand,
i’d give it all for liberty
if that i could command;
once more to ireland i’d return,
and be a happy man,
and bid adieu to poaching
and to van dieman’s land.

although the poor of ireland
do labour and do toil,
they’re robbed of every blessing
and produce of the soil;
your proud, imperious landlords,
if you break their commands,
they’ll send you on the british hulks
to plough van dieman’s land.
