ernest john moeran - the murder of father hanratty كلمات أغنية

you feeling_hearted christians i hope you will draw near
till i sing for you a verse or two which will cause your hearts to tear;
concerning our dear clergyman, whose loss we do deplore
by heretics was murdered not far from dromore

when they got him on the road, and far away from home
those cruel_hearted villains our priest they did surround;
alas they took him treacherous, gave him no time to pray
and with a billhook sharp and keen they took his life away

and when they did him murder, to crown that awful sin
it was to a limestonе quarry they threw his body in
for fear of bеing arrested those villains made away
but the lord will hold them guilty in the great accounting day

it was early next morning, two men were passing by;
the blood being sprinkled on the road they happened for to spy
they traced it to the quarry where they did him behold;
and the body of his reverence was lying stiff and cold

and to the chapel he was brought, high mass for him was said;
upon his breast was laid the cross and the chalice at his head
the altar it was draped in black, his loss for to deplore __
may the lord have mercy on his soul, we’ll never see him more

to see his grand procession your heart would give a sigh;
to hear his tender parents for him did loudly cry
the widows and the orphans with dismal hearts did say:
may the lord have mercy on the soul of father hanratty
