lyrics

Well Francis Pete, was such a brave man.
He left his folks in Cork & Kerry.
As he arrived, to his rebellion/(land and new home)
They sent him off to die for Lincoln.
The last thing that Francis said was, “Don’t cry for me mother I’m coming home!”

Chorus:
Hey! Ho! Another fortnight away.
Hey! Ho! And they live with their sins!
Hey! Ho! A blood-stained portrait of kin, is all they own.

And Maggie Mae, was quite a prude girl.
Until she moved to a state of Union.
With her boys gone, they died in this war
(Now she lives)/(She makes her living) with her legs wide open.
The last thing that Bobby said was “Don’t cry for me mother I’m coming home!”

Chorus

The last thing that Francis said was “Don’t cry for me mother I’m coming home!”
