Happy St Patrick's Day!

[InnaBinder]

 

I've been a wild rover for many a year
And I spent all my money on whiskey and beer,
And now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I never will play the wild rover no more.

chorus: And it's no, nay, never,
No nay never no more,
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more.

I went to an ale-house I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent.
I asked her for credit, she answered me "nay
Such a custom as yours I could have any day."

chorus

I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight.
She said "I have whiskey and wines of the best
And the words that I spoke sure were only in jest."

chorus

I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son.
And if they caress (forgive) me as ofttimes before
Sure I never will play the wild rover no more.

chorus

May your blessings out number
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.
~Irish Blessing~

Garth Brooks - Ireland http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVsBDcDnXzs

They say Mother Earth is breathing
With each wave that finds the shore
Her soul rises in the evening
For to open twilight's door

Her eyes are the stars in Heaven
Watching o'er us all the while
And her heart, it is in Ireland
Deep within the Emerald Isle

We were forty against hundreds
In someone else's bloody war
We know not why we're fighting
Or what we're dying for

They will storm us in the morning
When the sunlight turns the sky
Death is waiting for its dance, now
Fate has sentenced us to die.

Chorus:
Ireland, I am coming home
I can see your rolling fields of green
and fences made of stone
I am reaching out, won't you take my hand?
I'm coming home, Ireland

Oh the Captain he lay bleeding
And I can hear him calling me
"These men are yours, now, for the leading
Show them to their destiny."

And as I look up all around me
I see the ragged tired and torn
I tell them to make ready
We're not waiting for the morn

Chorus

And now the fog is deep and heavy
As we forge through dark and fear
We can hear their horses breathing
As in silence we draw near

And there are no words to be spoken
Just a look to say goodbye
I draw a breath and night is broken
As I scream our battle-cry

Chorus

We were forty against hundreds...
