Dearest Mother I am writing just to say I won't be home |
| [00:20.309] |
There’s something that I have to do and I must do alone |
| [00:31.726] |
They have took me and they've put me in this lonely prison cell |
| [00:40.562] |
Tonight my thoughts are with you as I say my last farewell |
| [00:48.743] |
|
| [00:52.059] |
So say goodbye to Margaret, Mary Bridget and Michál |
| [01:00.943] |
I have no words to tell you how much I'll miss you all |
| [01:09.894] |
And although I may not show it you know I've loved you well |
| [01:19.041] |
And in my final letter I will bid my last farewell |
| [01:28.208] |
|
| [01:30.443] |
Dearest brother won't you take good care of all the folks for me |
| [01:39.340] |
Go home to Rathfarnam on the day they set you free |
| [01:50.494] |
I was happy when you stood by me in all that I've been through |
| [01:59.908] |
No one has ever had so true a brother such as you |
| [02:08.161] |
|
| [02:11.109] |
So say goodbye to Margaret, Mary Bridget and Michál |
| [02:20.376] |
I have no words to tell you how much I'll miss you all |
| [02:29.160] |
And although I may not show it you know I've loved you well |
| [02:38.226] |
And in my final letter I will bid my last farewell |
| [02:46.443] |
|
| [02:54.260] |
Dearest mother it's so very sad that now we have to part |
| [03:03.059] |
To understand the reasons would trouble your poor heart |
| [03:14.577] |
I have told you since I was a boy it was my destiny |
| [03:23.514] |
To die a true brave soldier so that one day you’d be free |
| [03:33.153] |
|
| [03:34.885] |
So say goodbye to Margaret, Mary Bridget and Michál |
| [03:44.001] |
I have no words to tell you how much I'll miss you all |
| [03:52.951] |
And although I may not show it you know I've loved you well |
| [04:02.019] |
And in my final letter I will bid my last farewell |
