| [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 |
