When I was in service in Rosemary Lane I won the goodwill of my master and did I Till a sailor came there one night to lay And that was the beginning of my misery
He called for a candle to light him to bed And likewise a silk handkerchief to tie up his head To tie up his head as sailors will do And he said my Pretty Polly will you come too
Now this maid being young and foolish she thought it no harm For to lie into bed to keep herself warm And what was done there I will never disclose But I wish that short night had been seven long years
Next morning this sailor so early arose And into my apron three guineas did throw Saying take this I will give and more I will do If you'll be my Polly wherever I go
Now if it's a boy he will fight for the king And if it's a girl she will wear a gold ring She will wear a gold ring and a dress all aflame And remember my service in Rosemary Lane
When I was in service in Rosemary Lane I won the goodwill of my master and did I Till a sailor came there one night to lay And that was the beginning of my misery
Freedom fighters, speak with your tongues Sing with the might of the wind In your lungs, do you hear me now?
My mama told me, papa said it too "Son, the world's divided and you know Your cause is true", do you hear me now?
Can you see those mushrooms seed and burst Spreading through our valleys breeding hunger Breeding thirst. Do you hear me now?
Snowmen in the winter, blossoms in the spring If they drop the bomb in the summertime It don't mean a doggone thing Do you hear me now? Do you hear me now?
Freedom fighters speak with your tongues Sing with the might of the wind In your lungs, do you hear me now? Do you hear me now?
One morning fair I took the air Down by Blackwater side 'twas in gazing all, all around me The Irish lad I spied
All through the far part of the night We lay in sport and play Till this young man arose and gathered his clothes Saying fare-thee-well today
That's not the promise that you gave to me When first you lay on my breast You could make me believe with your lying tongue That the sun rose in the West
Well then go home to your father's garden Go home and weep your fill And think on your own misfortune That you've brought with your wanton will
When sadness fills your heart And sorrow hides the longing to be free When things go wrong each day You fix your mind to a?scape your misery
Your troubled young life Had made you turn To a needle of death
How strange, your happy words Have ceased to bring a smile from everyone How tears have filled the eyes Of friends that you once had walked among
Your troubled young life Had made you turn To a needle of death
One grain of pure white snow Dissolved in blood spread quickly to your brain In peace your mind withdraws Your death so near your soul can't feel no pain
Your troubled young life Had made you turn To a needle of death
Your mother stands a'cryin' While to the earth your body's slowly cast Your father stands in silence Caressing every young dream of the past
Your troubled young life Had made you turn To a needle of death
Through ages, man's desires To free his mind, to release his very soul Has proved to all who live That death itself is freedom for evermore
And your troubled young life Will make you turn To a needle of death
