What need you be in competent sense |
| [00:08.551] |
But fumble in a greasy till |
| [00:11.095] |
And add the half-pence to the pence |
| [00:13.903] |
And prayer to shivering prayer until |
| [00:16.670] |
You've dried the marrow from the bone |
| [00:18.929] |
For men were born to pray and save |
| [00:21.195] |
Romantic Ireland's dead and gone |
| [00:23.953] |
'Tis with O'Leary, in the grave |
| [00:27.215] |
Yet they were of a different kind |
| [00:29.473] |
In aims that stilled your childish play |
| [00:32.234] |
Have gone about the warlike wind |
| [00:34.742] |
What little time they had to pray |
| [00:36.753] |
For whom the hangman's rope was spun |
| [00:39.310] |
For what, God help us, could they save? |
| [00:42.072] |
Romantic Ireland's dead and gone |
| [00:44.331] |
'Tis with O'Leary, in the grave |
| [00:47.086] |
Was it for this, the wild geese spread |
| [00:49.672] |
Their gray ring upon every tide? |
| [00:51.929] |
For this, that all the blood was shed? |
| [00:54.706] |
For this, Edward FitzGerald died |
| [00:57.466] |
And Robert Emmet and Wolfe Tone |
| [00:59.732] |
Or that delirium of the brave |
| [01:01.991] |
Romantic Ireland's dead and gone |
| [01:04.250] |
'Tis with O'Leary, in the grave |
| [01:07.555] |
Yet would be told thy years again |
| [01:10.064] |
And call those exiles as they were |
| [01:12.575] |
In all their loneliness and pain |
| [01:15.377] |
You'd cry some woman's yellow hair |
| [01:17.887] |
Had maddened every woman's son |
| [01:19.893] |
They weighed so lightly what they gave |
| [01:22.402] |
But let them be, they're dead and gone |
| [01:25.424] |
They're with O'Leary, in the grave |
| [01:30.445] |
She is calling, calling calling |
| [01:32.704] |
In the wind and o'er the tide |
| [01:34.962] |
We are children, hear our voices |
| [01:37.274] |
Call us ever to her side |
| [01:39.532] |
She is calling, calling, calling |
| [01:41.791] |
In the storm and in the gaol |
| [01:44.069] |
We are children, hear our voices |
| [01:47.595] |
As we homeward safely sail |
| [01:53.195] |
With the engine need is throbbing |
| [01:55.498] |
And the wind upon the stern |
| [01:59.516] |
Little rightly of the distance |
| [02:01.849] |
That divides us now from Erin |
| [02:05.361] |
Go, we hear our voices calling |
| [02:07.619] |
Sweeping past us on the west |
| [02:09.880] |
Calling home to her dear children |
| [02:12.194] |
She once nourished on her breast |
| [02:15.453] |
She is calling, calling calling |
| [02:17.761] |
In the wind and o'er the tide |
| [02:20.035] |
We are children, hear our voices |
| [02:22.575] |
Call us ever to her side |
| [02:24.583] |
She is calling, calling, calling |
| [02:26.879] |
In the storm and in the gaol |
| [02:29.141] |
We are children, hear our voices |
| [02:32.493] |
As we homeward safely sail |
| [02:38.575] |
Oh, ye waters bear us homeward |
| [02:40.581] |
And ye winds your task will fill |
| [02:44.862] |
Till our Irish eyes will feast on Irish veils and Irish hills |
| [02:50.380] |
Till we tread our Irish cities |
| [02:52.638] |
See the glory and the shame |
| [02:54.897] |
And our eyes, like skies of Erin |
| [02:57.154] |
Through our smiles shed tears of pain |
| [03:00.722] |
She is calling, calling calling |
| [03:02.981] |
In the wind and o'er the tide |
| [03:05.237] |
We are children, hear our voices |
| [03:07.495] |
Call us ever to her side |
| [03:09.816] |
She is calling, calling, calling |
| [03:12.073] |
In the storm and in the gaol |
| [03:14.330] |
We are children, hear our voices |
| [03:17.594] |
As we homeward safely sail |
| [03:47.773] |
Glorious is the land we're leaving |
| [03:49.798] |
And its pride shall go to nears |
| [03:54.063] |
And the land that calls us homeward |
| [03:56.070] |
But can share with us her tears |
| [03:59.581] |
Yet our heart will call in vain |
| [04:01.841] |
Needless doth the wealth-man crave |
| [04:04.111] |
Turn it home to share her soul |
| [04:06.371] |
Where she weeps is I will rave |
| [04:09.910] |
She is calling, calling calling |
| [04:11.917] |
In the wind and o'er the tide |
| [04:14.478] |
We are children, hear our voices |
| [04:16.735] |
Call us ever to her side |
| [04:18.993] |
She is calling, calling, calling |
| [04:21.250] |
In the storm and in the gaol |
| [04:23.509] |
We are children, hear our voices |
| [04:28.028] |
As we homeward safely sail |
