1. The Bold Deserter

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   My friends and I could not agree,
   On account of my night's ramblin',
   They swore an oath and a solemn one,
   That they would banish me from their dwellin'
   And to a fair I then repaired,
   With hopes to find a master,
   To my great grief I found one there
   Which leaves me a deserter,
   I had not long been in the fair
   When the sergeant he came to me,
   He says' 'my boy, will you list with me
   Or will you take the shilling
   "Oh, 'no no,' the youth replied
   To list I am not willing,
   Says he to me, my boy, you will go neat and clean,
   So here now, take the shilling
   Unto an inn, we then went in,
   And we got liquor freely
   We spent that night in merriment,
   Till daylight was appearing.
   Till daylight was appearing.
   Come, Come' my boys the Sergeant said
   You are but listed freely.
   Tomorrow morn, you will march with me
   and that will be right early
   When my mother heard that I was listed fairly
   One and twenty pounds fro my discharge
   To the Sergeant she did offer.
