15 Oct 11 - 06:41 AM (#3239297) Subject: Lyr Add: MR FOX (John Pole) From: Jim Carroll As nobody else seems to have put it up Jim Carroll MR FOX By JOHN POLE Outside Mr. Fox's garden Three maids playing with a golden ball, Jenny threw it up and Susan caught it Mary bounced it over the wall. The wall is high Mr. Fox has a little red eye. In she ran to fetch it back again. The garden gate stood open wide It was quickly closed and locked behind her. Mr. fox was Just inside. The wall is high. His smile is cruel and his eyes are sly. He said. I'll keep your ball. Miss Mary. I shall have it and here you'll stay. You'll keep my house and be my servant. And never go out for a year and a day. The wall is high The long grass shivers and the tall trees sigh. Spring and summer passed like shadows She watched the green leaves fade and fall. She walked alone in the empty garden And Mr. Fox said — nothing at all. The wall is high Never a soul comes near nor by. Three strange things he did forbid her. Never you touch my iron box. Never go near the thirteenth bedroom Nor near the bed, said Mr. Fox. The wall is high. Don't you dare to ask me why. Mary she rose up one morning She saw an iron box on a shelf But of all the rooms at Mr. Fox's Bedrooms there were only twelve. The wall is high, Mary don't you peep or pry. One day Mr. Fox went walking In that box she found a key, It fitted a door she'd never unfastened And when she opened it, what did she see? The wall is high The door said STOP and the key said FLYl In Mr. Fox's thirteenth bedroom A naked sword hung on the wall In a silver bowl on the bed's blade counterpane. Mary saw her golden ball. The wall is high, The bed said COME and the sword said DIE! In she ran to get her ball again To snatch it off the great black bed. Out crept Mr. and leapt at her His teeth flashed white and his eyes burnt red. The wall is high........... |

15 Oct 11 - 01:30 PM (#3239449) Subject: Lyr Add: FARMER MICHAEL HAYES From: Jim Carroll Flushed with success, I'll chance my arm on a song entitled (around here at least) 'The Fox Chase' about a land agent in the 19th century who kills a landlord in a dispute, flees on foot chased by men with dogs, runs around 200 miles and eventually escapes to America Jim Carroll Not a real fox, but one of the finest narrative ballads in Ireland. Jim Carroll FARMER MICHAEL HAYES. I am a bold and undaunted fox that never was before on tramp, My rent, rates and taxes I was willing for to pay, I lived as happy as king Saul and loved my neighbours great and small, I had no animosity for either friend or foe, I made my den in fine good land between Tipperary and Knocklong, Where my forefathers lived for three hundred years or more, But now of late I was betrayed by one who was a fool or knave, He told me I should quit the place and show my face no more. But as soon as he evicted me, I thought, 'twas time that I should flee, I stole away his ducks and geese and murdered all his drakes, I knew I could no longer stand because he had the hounds at hand, I tightened up my garters and then I was away. But soon there was a great look-out by land and sea to find me out, From Dublin quay to Belfast Town along the raging sea, By telegraph they did insert this great reward for my arrest, My figure, size and form (forearm) and my name without a doubt. They wore their brogues, a thousand pair, this great reward for to But still there was no tidings of me or my retreat, They searched Tipperary o'er and o'er, the cornfields round But they si went on to Wexford, but there did not delay. Through Ballyhale and Stranmore they searched the woods as they went on, Till they got very hungry at the approach of day. Now search the world both far and near, the likes before you did not A fox to get away so clear as I did from the hounds. They searched the rocks, the gulfs, the bays, the ships and liners at the quays, The ferryboats and steamers as they were going to sea, Around the coast they took a steer from Poolbeg lighthouse to Cape Killarney Town and Sweet Tralee, and then crossed into Clare! And when they landed on the shore they searched Kilrush from top to toe, The bathing baths in Miltown, called otherwise Malbay, And Galway being a place of fame they thought it there I would But still there journey was in vain for I gave them leg bail They searched the train at Oranmore as she was leaving for Athlone, And every waggon, coach and car as that went along the road, And Connemara being remote, they thought it there I would resort, Then when they got weary they resolved to try Mayo. In Balinrobe they had to rest until the hounds were quite refreshed, From thence they went to Westport and searched it high and low, To Caslebar they took a trot, they heard I was in Castlerock, But still they were delude, there I lodged the night before*, At Swinford Town as I sat down I heard a dreadful cry of hounds. I took another notion to retaliate the chase, And I being weary from the road I took a glass at half past four, Then I was renovated while the hounds were getting weak, The night being dark in Castlebar, I knew not how to make my way, I had neither den nor manger to shield me from the cold, But when the moon began to shine I said I'd make for a foreign I'm in the land of liberty and three cheers for Michael Hayes, |
