    “I'm a simple tenant farmer, from the Co. of Wicklow.”

    I'm a simple tenant farmer, from the Co. of Wicklow
    I always strive to gain respect no matter where I go,
    It's for honesty of justice, I do solemnly declare,
    I am fighting for my native land I think it only fair.
    Hurrah for Mr. Parnell and his gallant little band
    He did his best we must confess for his own dear native land,
    I love the little spot, where I have my piece of land,
    It's the farm my father tilled no mansion half so grand.
    This song was composed by Edward Harte of Ballas.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
