CYRIL DUNCAN Hawthorne Qld Recorded
Carey & CurleyLast afternoon a great pale moon shone o'er my prison cellIts silvery rays brought bygone days, no evil did I know 'Til I met that wretched Carey who proved my overthrow And from that hour in his cursed power There's one advice I'm giving To shun unlawful meetings and trust on no man living Now I must die on the scaffold high in Killmannis's gloomy gaol I cursed the day I went astray, the day I Carey met And from that hour in his cursed power There's one advice I'm giving To shun unlawful meetings and trust in no man living Your parents and your clergy they are your only friends You'll never die on the scaffold high if honest and truth depend Now I'll depend on every friend to pray he will not fail For to pardon me on the scaffold tree in Kilmannis's gloomy gaol. And from that hour in his cursed power There's one advice I'm giving To shun unlawful meetings and trust in no man living |
