| [00:09.611] |
Wrap the green flag round me boys |
| [00:13.528] |
To die were far more sweet |
| [00:17.640] |
With freedom′s starry emblem, boys |
| [00:21.876] |
To be my winding sheet |
| [00:26.108] |
In life I long to see it wave |
| [00:30.136] |
And follow where it lead |
| [00:34.387] |
And now my eyes grow dim |
| [00:37.391] |
My hands would grasp its last bright shred |
| [00:42.695] |
So wrap the green flag round me boys |
| [00:46.800] |
To die were far more sweet |
| [00:51.132] |
With freedom's starry banner, boys |
| [00:55.149] |
To be my winding sheet |
| [00:59.527] |
And I had hopes to meet you boys |
| [01:03.477] |
On many a well fought field |
| [01:07.663] |
When to are starry banner boys |
| [01:11.772] |
The traitor foe would yield |
| [01:16.132] |
But now, alas, I am denied |
| [01:20.082] |
My dearest earthly prayer |
| [01:24.304] |
You′ll follow and you'll meet the foe |
| [01:28.410] |
But I shall not be there |
| [01:32.744] |
So wrap the green flag round me boys |
| [01:36.774] |
To die were far more sweet |
| [01:41.008] |
With freedom's starry banner, boys |
| [01:45.113] |
To be my winding sheet |
| [01:49.381] |
But though my body moulder boys |
| [01:53.478] |
My spirit will be free |
| [01:57.710] |
And every comrade′s honour, boys |
| [02:01.740] |
Will yet be dear to me |
| [02:06.026] |
And in the thick of bloody fight |
| [02:09.973] |
Let not your courage lag |
| [02:14.225] |
For I′ll be there and hovering near |
| [02:18.379] |
Beneath the dear old flags |
| [02:22.675] |
And wrap the green flag round me boys |
| [02:26.725] |
To die were far more sweet |
| [02:30.942] |
With freedom's starry emblem, boys |
| [02:35.082] |
To be my winding sheet |
| [02:39.337] |
So wrap the green flag round me boys |
| [02:43.510] |
To die were far more sweet |
| [02:47.710] |
With Eireann′s noble emblem, boys |
| [02:51.758] |
To be my winding sheet |
| [02:56.089] |
In life I long to see it wave |
| [03:00.098] |
And follow where it lead |
| [03:04.306] |
But now my eyes grow dim |
| [03:07.012] |
My hands would grasp its last bright shred |
| [03:12.645] |
So wrap the green flag round me boys |
| [03:16.743] |
To die were far more sweet |
| [03:20.912] |
With freedom's starry emblem, boys |
| [03:25.086] |
To be my winding sheet |
| [03:29.304] |
So wrap the green flag round me boys |
| [03:33.396] |
To die were far more sweet |
| [03:37.554] |
With freedom′s starry emblem, boys |
| [03:41.728] |
To be my winding sheet |
