[00:00.000] 作曲 : Traditional arranged by David Kincaid
[00:14.360] You feeling Christians both one and all
[00:19.871] Come pay attention unto my call
[00:26.054] Until you hear my doleful tragedy
[00:31.973] Of these two brothers all in Americay
[00:39.071] James and Patrick Masterson as you may see
[00:45.472] In Ballymena were reared most tenderly
[00:51.020] They left their loving parents on a woeful day
[00:57.195] To seek their fortune all in Americay
[01:04.832] In '58 they sailed away
[01:10.622] Bound for New Orleans in Americay
[01:16.459] But mark what followed without delay
[01:22.489] For the war broke out on a woeful day
[01:29.959] To take up arms they were forced to fight
[01:35.593] Through fatigue and hardships both day and night
[01:41.738] With savage blocks they could not agree
[01:47.799] Where in the regiment, proved their destiny
[01:55.174] They were punished severely in that savage corps
[02:00.777] And often flogged till left in their gore
[02:06.897] They often thought of their friends so dear
[02:12.867] They left lamenting and to shed a tear
[02:20.414] To desert this regiment they were inclined
[02:26.101] For to reach the north they made up their minds
[02:32.250] By nighted travel for to make their way
[02:38.174] And in the woods they lay, concealed by day
[02:45.961] For three long days they could not be found
[02:51.436] At length the picket did them would surround
[02:57.032] They were taken prisoners with handcuffs bound
[03:03.464] And by a court martial they were guilty found
[03:10.967] By a court martial as you soon shall hear
[03:16.662] Their sentence was to be flogged severe
[03:22.500] When Patrick Masterson got loose that day
[03:28.320] He shot the colonel without delay
[03:36.016] The guards immediately did him surround
[03:41.841] Been tried and sentenced and guilty found
[03:47.119] A scaffold now erected in the square
[03:53.515] And his brother pitched upon, to hang him there
[04:01.204] James Masterson was called immediately
[04:06.795] To hang his brother he would not agree
[04:13.000] "Before I'd yield to such cruelty
[04:18.698] I will die beside him on a gallows tree"
[04:26.401] A wild black sergeant proposed to do the deed
[04:32.189] To hang the brothers he went up with speed
[04:38.128] Now all being ready he stood on the fall
[04:44.011] And James he shot him with a pistol ball
[04:51.839] They both were sentenced and condemned to die
[04:57.392] And hanged that day on a gallows high
[05:03.281] Farewell Ould Ireland, our native home
[05:09.302] We here must die in our youth and bloom
[05:16.768] Those two brothers met their sad downfall
[05:22.545] They were lamented by their comrades all
[05:28.425] From friends and parents far far away
[05:34.366] They have suffered death and curse in South Americay
