Peter Crawley

C            F       C                   G7
As I rambled out one morning,it been the month of June,
F                                                   C
I strayed into an old church yard,to view a Nobel's tomb.
F      Dm              F                                       C
I overheard an old man say, As the tears rolled from his eyes,
F               Dm          C                      G7
Tis 'neath that cold, cold clay today, poor Peter Crawley lies."

[Verse 2]
C         F               C                        G7
Oh, the grave where Peter Crawley lies beneath the grass grows green;
F    Dm                   F                            G7
And underneath poor Peter sleeps, because he loved the green.
F             Dm               F                     C
It grieves my heart to see you there, s hero once in bloom;
Dm                           C                            G7
For untimely death that has brought you here, o fill the silent tomb.

[Chorus]
F                C                     G7
Oh, Crawley, oh, Crawley, come tell to me the truth:
F        Dm                    F                         C
Who went along that night with you, to clue those lonely woods?
F         Dm                            F                  C
Who stood beside that brave old oak, and fired that signal gun?
F                         C                        G7
Because you were a young Fenian bold, snd died for Ireland's love.
