the green fields of america - the catalpa كلمات أغنية

[chorus]
come all you screw warders and jailers
remember perth regatta day
take care of the rest of your fenians
or the yankees will steal them away

[verse 1]
a n0ble whale ship, the catalpa
set out from new bedford one day
she sailed off to western australia
and took six poor fenians away
seven long years they had served here
and seven long more had to stay
for defending thеir country old ireland
they werе chained and transported away

[chorus]
so come all you screw warders and jailers
remember perth regatta day
take care of the rest of your fenians
or the yankees will steal them away

[verse 2]
you kept them in western australia
till their hair had begun to turn grey
when a brave whaling ship and commander
came out here and stole them away
now all the perth boats were a_racing
and making short tacks for the spot
but the yankee tacked into fremantle
and took the best prize of the lot
[chorus]
so come all you screw warders and jailers
remember perth regatta day
take care of the rest of your fenians
or the yankees will steal them away

[verse 3]
the georgette she sailed out with guns ready
intending the yankee to take
but they hoisted their star_spangled banner
and left the georgette in their wake
so remember those six fenian heroes
who escaped o’er to amerikay
and join in a toast to the bravery
of the yankees who stole them away

[chorus]
so come all you screw warders and jailers
remember perth regatta day
take care of the rest of your fenians
or the yankees will steal them away

[verse 4]
now they’ve landed safe in new york harbour
and the crowd there to greet them did cry
so we’ll hoist up the green flag and shamrock
for old ireland we’ll fight or we’ll die
[chorus]
so come all you screw warders and jailers
remember perth regatta day
take care of the rest of your fenians
or the yankees will steal them away

so come all you screw warders and jailers
remember perth regatta day
take care of the rest of your fenians
or the yankees will steal them away
