Lyrics When I Was On Horseback - Steeleye Span
When
I
was
on
horseback,
wasn't
I
pretty?
When
I
was
on
horseback,
wasn't
I
gay?
Wasn't
I
pretty
when
I
entered
Cork
City
And
met
with
my
downfall
on
the
fourteenth
of
May?
Six
jolly
soldiers
to
carry
my
coffin
Six
jolly
soldiers
to
march
by
my
side
And
it's
six
jolly
soldiers,
take
a
bunch
of
red
roses
Then
for
to
smell
them
as
we
march
along
Beat
the
drum
slowly
and
play
the
pipes
only
Play
up
the
dead-march
as
we
go
along
And
bring
me
to
Tipperary
and
lay
me
down
easy
I
am
a
young
soldier
that
never
done
wrong
When
I
was
on
horseback,
wasn't
I
pretty?
When
I
was
on
horseback,
wasn't
I
gay?
Wasn't
I
pretty
when
I
entered
Cork
City
And
met
with
my
downfall
on
the
fourteenth
of
May?
