When I Was On Horseback
Lyricist:Hart (arr), Hutchings (arr), Knight (arr), Prior (arr), Traditional
When I was on horseback, wasn't I pretty? When I was on horseback, wasn't I gay? Wasn't I pretty when I entered Cork City And met with my downfall on the fourteenth of May?
Six jolly soldiers to carry my coffin Six jolly soldiers to march by my side And it's six jolly soldiers, take a bunch of red roses Then for to smell them as we march along
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Beat the drum slowly and play the pipes only Play up the dead-march as we go along And bring me to Tipperary and lay me down easy I am a young soldier that never done wrong
When I was on horseback, wasn't I pretty? When I was on horseback, wasn't I gay? Wasn't I pretty when I entered Cork City And met with my downfall on the fourteenth of May?
