The Emigrants Story
Farewell my lovely ireland farewell my love so fair she is sweeter than the fiddler's strings and the songs the blackbird sings for i must leave my fair haired girl how i'll miss her so if i could find the work i'd stay across the ocean i must go farewell my lovely ireland farewell my land so fair to the valleys hills and soft rain shades of green and golden grain crashing waves on your brave shores my heart is always yours with dampening eyes i leave you now across the ocean i must go farewell, farewell, i must stray we'll meet again, come what may farewell, farewell, i must stray it's time to be on my way farewell my lovely ireland farewell my nation fair unchanged by wars and present woes Songtextethat hope, that courage shows those men and women heroes bold singing songs of days of old here's to you and better days across the ocean i must go farewell, farewell, i must stray we'll meet again, come what may oh farewell, farewell, i must stray it's time to be on my way farewell my lovely ireland farewell to a life so fair man's greed has stole my childhood land live's torn by the traitor's hand we'll meet again like parted streams on our isle, our isle of dreams we'll dance again as we danced before my story will be told we'll dance again as we danced before my story will be told (Thanks to Tom for these lyrics) Aus Songtexte Mania
