W:Never hire with any master till you know what your work will be W:For you must rise up early by the clear day light till the dawn W:or you never will be able to plough the Rocks of Bawn. W: W:Now rise up, gallant Sweeney, and give your horse some hay W:Go give him a good feed of oats before you're going away W:Don't feed him on soft turnip that grows on your green lawn W:Or you never will be able to plough the Rocks of Bawn. W: W:My curse upon you, Sweeney, you had me nearly robbed W:You were sitting by the fireside, with your doodeen in your gob W:You're sitting by the fireside, from clear daylight till dawn W:And you never will be able to plough the Rocks of Bawn W: W:My shoes they are all worn out, my stockings are all thin W:My heart is always trembling, for fear I might give in W:My heart is always trembling, from clear daylight till the dawn W:I'm afraid I'll ne'er be able to plough the Rocks of Bawn. W: W:I wish the Sergeant-Major would send for me in time W:And place me in some regiment all in my youth and prime W:I'd fight for Ireland's glory, from the clear daylight till the dawn W:And I never would return again to plough the Rocks of Bawn.
