letra de the peeler and the goat - the wolfe tones
the bansha peelers went one night on duty and patrolling o
and they met a goat upon the road
and took him for being a-strolling o
and with bayonets fixed they sallied forth
and caught him by the wizen o
and then they swore a mighty oath
they’d send him off to prison o
“hey goat, traitor!”
“a higgledy-giggle, let go of me leg or i’ll hook-a-ya with me h-rn o
a diddley-dee-a let go of me or i’ll leave ya bruised and torn o”
“oh mercy, sir!” the goat replied “come let me tell my story o
i am no rogue or ribbonman, no croppy, whig or tory o
and i’m guilty not of any crime or pеtty, high treason o
me tribe is wantin’ at this timе for this is rantin’ season o”
“hey goat, traitor!”
a higgledy-giggle, let go of me leg or i’ll hook-a-ya with me h-rn o
a diddley-dee-a let go of me or i’ll leave ya bruised and torn o
“oh, it is in vain for to complain
or give your tongue such bridle o
you’re absent from your dwelling place
disorderly and idle o
and your h–ry locks will not prevail
nor your sublime or-a-tation o
for peeler’s act will you transport
on your own information o.”
“hey goat, traitor!”
a higgledy-giggle, let go of me leg or i’ll hook-a-ya with me h-rn o
a diddley-dee-a let go of me or i’ll leave ya bruised and torn o
“no penal laws i did transgress
by deed or combination o
i have no certain place of rest
no home or habitation o
but bansha is my dwelling place
where i was bred and born o
i’m descended from an honest race
that’s all the trade i’ve learned o.”
“hey goat, traitor!”
a higgledy-giggle, let go of me leg or i’ll hook-a-ya with me h-rn o
a diddley-dee-a let go of me or i’ll leave ya bruised and torn o
“o the consequence be what it will
a peeler’s power i’ll let you know
i’ll handcuff you in all events
and march you off to bridewell o
and sure there you rogue, you can’t deny
before the judge or jury o
intimidation with your h-rns
and threatening me with fury o.”
“hey goat, traitor!”
a higgledy-giggle, let go of me leg or i’ll hook-a-ya with me h-rn o
a diddley-dee-a let go of me or i’ll leave ya bruised and torn o
“i’ll make no doubt but but you’re drunk
with whiskey, rum or brandy o
or you wouldn’t have such gallant sp-nk
to be so bold and manly o
for you readily would let me pass
if i had money handy o
for to treat you to a poteen glass
’tis then i’d be a-dandy o.”
“a higgledy-giggle, let go of me leg or i’ll hook-a-ya with me h-rn o
a diddley-dee-a let go of me or i’ll leave ya bruised and torn o”
