Teddy O'neill

Teddy O'neill - Deirdre O'callaghan

Written by：Trad/Campbell

I've seen the log cabin

He danced his wild jigs in

As me a mild palace as ever will see

And considerin' it's such to keep poultry and pigs in

I'm sure it was always most elegant clean

But now all the cows is as lonely and weary

All sad and all silent no piper no wheel

Not even the sound to the case that is cheery

Since I miss my darling boy teddy o'neill

I dreamt 'bout last night all that ceased to my dreamin'

I die it could ever come surely to pass

I dreamt why the tears down my pillow were streamin'

That teddy was caught in another fair lies

Oh did I wake was a leaper and wailin'

The thought of that creep was too deep to conceal

My mother cried nor a child what is your ailment

And all I could utter was teddy o'neill

Shall I ever forget when the big ship was leavin'

The moment had come when my love must depart

How I cried like a child look to me teddy

The tears on my cheek and the stone in my heart

He says it's a better he's far to his rowland

The truck would be cold to the joy I would feel

If I saw him return to me honest and loving

Still poor but my long darling teddy o'neill
