'Twas on Good Friday morning, |
| [00:15.516] |
All in the month of May, |
| [00:20.345] |
A German Ship was signaling, |
| [00:25.333] |
Beyond the Dingle Bay, |
| [00:29.847] |
We had twenty thousand rifles |
| [00:34.749] |
All ready for to land, |
| [00:39.031] |
But no answering signal did come from, |
| [00:44.148] |
The lonely Banna Strand. |
| [00:50.632] |
"No signal answers from the shore", |
| [00:55.800] |
Sir Roger sadly said, |
| [01:00.378] |
No comrades here to welcome me, |
| [01:05.183] |
Alas, they must be dead, |
| [01:09.748] |
But I must do my duty |
| [01:14.662] |
And at once I mean to land, |
| [01:19.067] |
So in a small boat pulled ashore |
| [01:24.098] |
On the lonely Banna Strand. |
| [01:27.748] |
|
| [01:30.533] |
Now the R.I.C. were hunting for |
| [01:35.649] |
Sir Roger high and low, |
| [01:40.198] |
They found him at McKenna's fort; |
| [01:45.082] |
Said they: "You are our foe", |
| [01:49.533] |
Said he: "I'm Roger Casement, |
| [01:54.649] |
I came to my native land, |
| [01:59.150] |
And they mean to free my countrymen |
| [02:04.212] |
On the lonely Banna Strand. |
| [02:07.929] |
|
| [02:10.462] |
Now they took Sir Roger prisoner, |
| [02:15.812] |
And they sailed for London town, |
| [02:20.379] |
And in the Tower they laid him, |
| [02:25.245] |
A traitor to the Crown; |
| [02:29.679] |
Said he "I am no traitor", |
| [02:34.679] |
But his trial he had to stand, |
| [02:39.329] |
For bringing German rifles to, |
| [02:44.096] |
The lonely Banna Strand. |
| [02:50.712] |
'Twas in an English prison |
| [02:55.663] |
That they led him to his death, |
| [03:00.162] |
"I'm dying for my country" |
| [03:05.296] |
He said with his last breath, |
| [03:09.579] |
They buried him in British soil |
| [03:14.646] |
Far from his native land, |
| [03:19.045] |
And the wild waves sing his requiem |
| [03:24.046] |
On the lonely Banna Strand. |
| [03:27.689] |
|
| [03:30.396] |
Now they took Sir Roger home again |
| [03:35.779] |
In the year of '65, |
| [03:40.146] |
And with his comrades of '16 |
| [03:45.312] |
In peace and tranquil lies, |
| [03:49.446] |
His last fond wish, it is fulfilled |
| [03:54.712] |
For to lie in his native land, |
| [03:58.812] |
And the waves will roll in peace again |
| [04:03.995] |
On the lonely Banna Strand. |
| [04:10.396] |
And the waves will roll in peace again—— |
| [04:15.663] |
On the lonely Banna Strand. |
