Colleen Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 The Wild Colonial Boy There was a wild colonial boy, Jack Duggan was his name He was born and bred in Ireland, in a place called Castlemaine He was his father's only son, his mother's pride and joy And dearly did his parents love the wild colonial boy At the early age of sixteen years he left his native home And to Australia's sunny shore, he was inclined to roam He robbed the rich, he helped the poor, he shot James MacEvoy A terror to Australia was, the wild colonial boy One morning on the prairie, as Jack he rode along A-listening to the mocking bird, a-singing a cheerful song Up stepped a band of troopers: Kelly, Davis and Fitzroy They all set out to capture him, the wild colonial boy Surrender now, Jack Duggan, for you see we're three to one Surrender in the King's high name, you are a plundering son Jack drew two pistols from his belt, he proudly waved them high I'll fight, but not surrender, said the wild colonial boy He fired a shot at Kelly, which brought him to the ground And turning round to Davis, he recieved a fatal wound A bullet pierced his proud young heart, from the pistol of Fitzroy And that was how they captured him, the wild colonial boy

Colleen Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 [quote name='FutureNunJMJ' date='Oct 9 2004, 04:09 PM'] I'm an Honorary Irish though!!! [/quote] [b]Star of the County Down[/b] Near Banbridge town, in the County Down One morning in July Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen And she smiled as she passed me by. She looked so sweet from her two white feet To the sheen of her nut-brown hair Such a coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself To make sure I was standing there. [b]Chorus[/b] [i]From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay And from Galway to Dublin town No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen That I met in the County Down.[/i] As she onward sped I shook my head And I gazed with a feeling rare And I said, says I, to a passerby "Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?" He smiled at me, and with pride says he, "That's the gem of Ireland's crown. She's young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann She's the star of the County Down." [b]Chorus[/b] I've travelled a bit, but never was hit Since my roving career began But fair and square I surrendered there To the charms of young Rose McCann. I'd a heart to let and no tenant yet Did I meet with in shawl or gown But in she went and I asked no rent From the star of the County Down. [b]Chorus[/b] At the harvest fair, she'll be surely there So I'll dress in my Sunday clothes. With my shoes shone bright And my hat cocked right For a smile from my nut-brown Rose. No horse I'll yoke, no pipe I'll smoke Though my plough with the rust turn brown, Till a smiling bride By my own fire side Sits the Star of the County Down. [b]Chorus[/b]

Thy Geekdom Come Posted October 11, 2004 Author Posted October 11, 2004 [quote name='Noel's angel' date='Oct 11 2004, 01:12 PM'] ARMAGH silly, not Armaugh!!!!!!! [/quote] Hmmm...my clan map has it as Armaugh... Doesn't matter, they were brought back to Catholicism, so their being Northern Irish doesn't make them orangemen...it's all good...
Noel's angel Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Orangemen have nothing to do with being from NI, they are an all-ireland organisation, and they arent all Protestants u know! No, its definately County Armagh, i live here i know!
