by honest parents, the truth to you I&#8217;ll tell<br \/>\nBrought up by honest parents, and reared most tenderly<br \/>\nTil I became a sporting lad at the age of twenty-three.<\/p>\n<p>My character was broken, and I was sent to jail;<br \/>\nMy friends and parents did their best to get me out on bail<br \/>\nThe jury found me guilty, and the clerk he wrote it down:<br \/>\n&#8216;For the breaking of the Union Bank you&#8217;ll be sent to Charlestown.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>I can see my aged father a-standing at the bar<br \/>\nLikewise my poor old mother, a-tearing of her hair<br \/>\nA-tearing of her old grey locks, the tears came tumbling down.<br \/>\n&#8216;Oh Son, oh Son, what have you done to be sent to Charlestown?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>I was placed on board an eastbound train on a cold December&#8217;s day;<br \/>\nAnd every station I passed by, I could hear the people say,<br \/>\n&#8216;There goes the Boston Burglar, in irons he is bound,<br \/>\nFor the breaking of the Union Bank he is sent to Charlestown.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>There is a girl in Boston, a girl I love well<br \/>\nIf ever I gain my liberty, with her I mean to dwell.<br \/>\nIf ever I gain my liberty, bad company I will shun,<br \/>\nStaying out late at night, likewise the drinking of rum.<\/p>\n<p>So come all you young fellows, a warning take from me,<br \/>\nNever stay too late at night a-breaking the laws of man.<br \/>\nFor if you do you&#8217;ll sure rue the day and find yourself like me:<br \/>\nServing twenty-five years in the penitentiary!<\/p>\n<p>&hellip;I was wrong there. I was wrong with the last verse there.<\/p>\n<p>So while you have your liberty, keep it if you can.<br \/>\nNever stay too late at night breaking the laws of man.<br \/>\nFor if you do, you&#8217;ll rue the day and find yourself like me:<br \/>\nServing twenty-five years in the penitentiary!<\/p>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t that better?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"templates\/template-full-width.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-670","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-amhrain","category-amhrain-i-mbearla"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=670"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":733,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670\/revisions\/733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
