The True Story

Garthbeg 17/04/1746

By our Seannachie

IF I STAND ON TIPPY TOES
WILL I SEE DA COMING HAME
BY THE MOON I WATCHED HIM GO
(I COULDN'T SLEEP-
I TOOK A PEEP)
WITH OTHER MEN OF OUR NAME

PISTOLS STUFFED INTO HIS BELT
CLAYMORE WRAPPED INSIDE HIS ROLL
HIS EYES TOLD MA WHAT HE FELT
(A HUG HE GIVE HER-
I WATCHED HER SHIVER)
SHE HID HER TEARS IN HER SHAWL

I'M MA'S WEE MAN 'TIL HE'S HERE
TEND THE BEASTS, WORK THE FIELD
GUARD MY MAMMY, SHOW NO FEAR
(TOIL 'TIL BOWED-
MAKE DA PROUD)
LOVE OF KIN WILL NEVER YIELD
