off to dublin in the green - the abbey tavern singers lyrics

Loading...

i am a merry ploughboy and
i ploughed the fields all day
till a sudden thought
came into my head
that i should roam away

for i’m tired of civilian life
since the day that i was born
so i´m off to join the i.r.a.
and i´m off tomorrow morn

[chorus]
so we´re off to dublin’
in the green, in the green
where the helmets
glisten in the sun
where the bayonets flash
and the rifles crash to the
echo of a thompson gun

oh, i leave behind
my old gray home
i leave behind my plough
and i leave behind
my old gray mare
for no more i´ll need ’em now

and i leave behind my mary
she´s the one that i adore
and i wonder will
she think of me when she
hears the rifles roar

[repeat chorus]

oh, some men fight for silver
and some men fight for gold
but the i.r.a. are fighting for
the land the saxons stole

[repeat chorus]

and when the war is over
and dear old ireland’s free
i will take her to the church to wed
a rebel’s wife she´ll be

[repeat chorus]
