about

(Connell, music trad arr Devine & Dunlop)

lyrics

Let me sing about my Nellie
Just for moments one or two
Let me tell about her goodness
And the deeds that she can do
She’s the fondest friend I number
She’s the leader of the chase
She’s the queen of all the poachers
And the bravest of her race

Come with me in early morning
Ere the lazy sun is up
Over hill and over hollow
See her move and never stop
See her plough the tangled bracken
Search the bushes and the wood
When the cunning hare has bolted
Watch her light feet touch the sod

Come and share the high enjoyment
Which the outlaw only feels
When a modest meed of justice
From oppression’s grasp he steals
See my Nellie, all undaunted
Facing rank and golden store
Spoiling now a starched Archbishop
Now Exchequer’s Chancellor

All the week in smoke and bother
Do we smother she and I?
Sunday morning brings us leisure
Purer air and clearer sky,
Oh, how joyous is the journey
To the flower and the tree
In the wildwood we are happy
On the hillside we are free

Let me sing about my Nellie
Just for moments one or two
Let me tell about her goodness
And the deeds that she can do
She’s the fondest friend I number
She’s the leader of the chase
She’s the queen of all the poachers
And the bravest of her race
