A NEW SONG
On the Insanity and Doings of
THEPOORJUDGE.
Oh! There's another good man gone wrong, hurroo hurroo,
Who is well known to you, 'it's true, it's true;
After the life which he had spent,
It's time that he should now repent,
To do everything bad he was always bent
Oh ! Cromwell we hardly know you.
CHORUS.
With your gown and wig, your wig and gown,
Your enemies they well know you,
Both young and old as now I'm told,
Say judge we hardly know you.
After all the deeds that you have done, hurroo, hurroo.
We're afraid your glass is nearly run, hurroo, hurroo ;
For it's well known this many a year
By young and old both far and near,
You were always a rogue as we do hear,
Judge dear we hardly know you.
You can't deny but this is true, hurrroo, hurroo ;
Your Val t you did nearly slew, hurroo, hurroo
You thought to take his life away ;
When he was going to ready your tea,
If he had to die you'd surely pay
The rope would surely crook you.
Oh ! where's your senses gone at all, hurroo hurroo,
It's often asked by great and small, hurroo, hurroo,
What will we do when you will die
For you I'm sure we all shall cry,
Many thousands they will say good-bye,
Poor judge no more we'll see you.
Oh ! Mr. judge you know your bad, hurroo, hurroo,
At your misfortune we're all glad, hurroo, hurroo,
In your doings we never took delight,
For you never done what was said to be right,
You'd surely say that black was white ;
Judge we hardly know you.
18 years ago we don't forget, 'tis true, 'tis true,
Two brothers you condemned to death 'tis true 'tis true,
I Nenagh town 'twas sad to see,
Them die upon the gallows tree,
You forced their guilt by the jury,
Judge its well you know that.
To tell you more of wh t you know 'tis true 'tis true,
About Galway City six years ago, 'tis true, 'tis true,
When Captain No an he had been
Tried by you 'twas plainly seen,
By your false heart our priests and him
'Twas there you did rebuke them.
So now 'tis time to end my song to you, which is true,
I hope I have said nothing wrong, to you, to you,
For everyone knows as well as me,
That judge is a great enemy,
Wish all I told you I hope you will agree
And say, Judge we hardly know you.
