Banna Strand - The Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]
Twas on good Friday morning[00:00:14]
All in the month of may[00:00:20]
A German ship was signalling[00:00:24]
Beyond out in the bay[00:00:29]
We had twenty thousand rifles[00:00:33]
All ready for to land[00:00:38]
But no answering signal did come[00:00:42]
From the lonely banna strand[00:00:46]
No signal answers from the shore[00:00:54]
Sir roger sadly said[00:00:59]
No comrades here to meet me[00:01:03]
Alas they must be dead[00:01:08]
But I must do my duty[00:01:12]
And at once I mean to land[00:01:17]
So in a small boat rowed ashore[00:01:22]
On the lovely banna strand[00:01:26]
Now the r i c were hunting[00:01:33]
For sir roger high and low[00:01:36]
They found him in mckenna's fort[00:01:42]
Said they you are our foe[00:01:47]
Said he I'm roger casement[00:01:52]
I came to my native land[00:01:57]
I mean to free my countrymen[00:02:01]
On the lonely banna strand[00:02:06]
They took sir roger prisoner[00:02:12]
And sailed for London town[00:02:18]
And in the tower they laid him[00:02:22]
A traitor to the crown[00:02:27]
Said he I am no traitor[00:02:31]
But his trial he had to stand[00:02:36]
For bringing German rifles[00:02:40]
To the lonely banna strand[00:02:43]
Twas in an English prison[00:02:52]
That they led him to his death[00:02:57]
I'm dying for my country[00:03:01]
He said with his last breath[00:03:06]
They buried him in British soil[00:03:10]
Far from his native land[00:03:15]
And the wild waves sing his requiem[00:03:20]
On the lonely banna strand[00:03:23]
They took sir roger home again[00:03:43]
In the year of '65[00:03:47]
And with his comrades of '16[00:03:52]
In peace and tranquil lies[00:03:57]
His last fond wish it is fulfilled[00:04:01]
For to lie in his native land[00:04:06]
And the waves will roll in peace again[00:04:10]
On the lonely banna strand[00:04:15]
