Brady of Strabane Songtext

I welcome with me Johnny
And you′re with a decent man
Twas little I knew what I had to do
For Brady of Strabane

Well as I went in to a hiring faire in a place the called the Strand
Twas there I hired for seven long years with Brady of Strabane
And before I signed to work for him he was very nice to me
He promised me eggs and bacon and he then shook hands with me

I welcome with me Johnny
And you're with a decent man
Twas little I knew what I had to do
For Brady of Strabane

But I went up to me bed that night to let an awful bawl
For the fleas they made a fierce attack and I got no sleep at all
When I come down for me breakfast, well what do you think I see?
But a dozen squabbling children saying, "Is there anything there for me?"


I welcome with me Johnny
And you′re with a decent man
Twas little I knew what I had to do
For Brady of Strabane

Each morning I arose from work at the dawning of the day
I tend to his cows and horses and feed them oats and hay
Then off to plough the pastures and plant the spuds and corn
Each night before I went to sleep I wish I ne'er been born

I welcome with me Johnny
And you're with a decent man
Twas little I knew what I had to do
For Brady of Strabane

I worked on Brady′s farm ′till I looked an awful sight
Me bones were pushin' through me skin. I worked from mornin′ 'till night
And when I died and passed away old Brady gave a grin
Said, "He′ll make good fertilizer, and there's plenty more like him."

I welcome with me Johnny
And you′re with a decent man
Twas little I knew what I had to do
For Brady of Strabane


I welcome with me Johnny
And you're with a decent man
Twas little I knew what I had to do
For Brady of Strabane
