1. Local Songs - The Masterson Brothers

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   These brothers lived near Cavan town and the story is true. I do not know the composer.

   I
   You feeling Christians both one and all,
   Come pay attention to my sad call
   Until you hear a doleful tale
   Of those two brothers in America.
   II
   James and Patrick Masterson as you shall hear,
   Near Balanagh was rear most tenderly,
   They left their parents on a woeful day,
   To seek their fortunes in America.
   III
   In fifty eight then they sailed away
   Bound for New Orleans in America,
   But mark what followed without delay,
   For the war broke out on a woeful day.
   IV
   To desert their regiments they were inclined,
   For to reach the North they made up their minds,
   By night to travel, and to make they way,
   And in the woods they lay concealed by day.
   V
   For three long days they could not be found,
   Till at length the sergeant did the wood surround.
   They were taken prisoner, and handcuffed bound
   And by a courtmartial they were guilty found.
