Lyrics
My dearest love, please come sit down,
For I must go to Dublin town.
Now hold me close, take me by the hand,
Please pray for me and my Ireland.
The time has come and I must leave,
You mustn’t cry, you mustn’t grieve.
Today’s the day I must take a stand,
I’m off to fight for my Ireland.
I will be brave, I shall not run,
I swear by God, His will be done.
I’ll do what’s asked by those in command,
I’ll fight for them and my Ireland.
Interlude
If I should die behind my gun,
Please judge me not for what I’ve done.
Forgive me dear, try to understand,
I had to fight for my Ireland.
So kiss me now, shed not a tear.
My love for you is crystal-clear.
Now hold me close as you take my hand,
For I love you and my Ireland.
Please hold my love within your heart,
And dream of me while we’re apart.
I’ll pray for us as I take this stand,
For I love you and my Ireland.
For I love you and my Ireland.
