The Foggy Dew - The Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]

Written by：Traditional. The Wolfetones[00:00:05]

As down the glen one easter morn to a city fair rode I[00:00:11]

There armed lines of marching men in squadrons passed me by[00:00:20]

No pipe did hum nor battle drum did sound its dread tattoo[00:00:29]

But the Angelus Bell o'er the Liffey's swell rang out through the foggy dew[00:00:38]

Right proudly high over Dublin Town they hung out the flag of war[00:00:54]

'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Suvla or Sud El Bar[00:01:02]

And from the plains of Royal Meath strong men came hurrying through[00:01:11]

While Britannia's huns with their long range guns sailed in through the foggy dew[00:01:19]

Oh the night fell black and the rifles' crack made perfidious Albion reel[00:01:35]

In the leaden rain seven tongues of flame did shine o'er the lines of steel[00:01:44]

By each shining blade a prayer was said that to Ireland her sons be true[00:01:52]

But when morning broke still the war flag shook out its folds the foggy dew[00:02:01]

Oh the bravest fell and the requiem bell rang mournfully and clear[00:02:17]

For those who died that Eastertide in the Spring time of the year[00:02:25]

And the world did gaze in deep amaze at those fearless men but few[00:02:34]

Who bore the fight that freedom's light might shine through the foggy dew[00:02:42]

As back through the glen I rode again and my heart with grief was sore[00:02:58]

For I parted then with valiant men whom I never see no more[00:03:06]

But to and fro in my dreams I go[00:03:15]

And I kneel and pray for you[00:03:19]

For slavery fled o glorious dead when you fell in the foggy dew[00:03:23]
