Paroles

When I was eighteen years of age
Into the army I did engage
I left me home with a good intent
For to join the forty-second regiment
While I was posted on guard one day
Some soldiers' children came out to play
From the officers' quarters my captain came
And he ordered me for to take their names
I took one name instead of three
On neglect of duty they then charged me
I was confined to barracks with loss of pay
For doing my duty the opposite way
A loaded rifle I did prepare
For to shoot my captain and the barracks square
It was my captain I meant to kill
But I shot my colonel against my will
At Liverpool Assizes me trial I stood
And I held my courage as best I could
Then the old judge said, "now, McCafferty
Go prepare your soul for eternity"
I had no father to take me part
No loving mother to break her heart
I had one friend and a girl was she
Who'd lay down her life for McCafferty
So come all you off'cers take advice from me
And go treat your men with some decency
For it's only lies and a tyranny
That have made a murderer of McCafferty
