The Foggy Dew - Patsy Watchorn[00:00:00]

Written by：James McNally[00:00:01]

I was down the glen one Easter morn[00:00:10]

To a city fair rode I[00:00:15]

There armed lines of marching men[00:00:20]

In squadrons passed me by[00:00:25]

No pipe did humanna no battle drum[00:00:30]

Did sound it's loud tattoo[00:00:35]

But the Angelus Bells o'er the Liffey swells[00:00:40]

Rang out in the foggy dew[00:00:45]

Right proudly high over Dublin town[00:00:50]

They hung out a flag of war[00:00:56]

'Twas better to die 'neath that Irish sky[00:01:01]

Than at Sulva or Sud el Bar[00:01:06]

And from the plains of Royal Meath[00:01:11]

Strong men came hurrying through[00:01:16]

While Brittania's huns with their long range guns[00:01:21]

Sailed in through the foggy dew[00:01:26]

'Twas England bade our wild geese go[00:01:31]

That small nations might be free[00:01:36]

But their lonely graves are by Suvla's waves[00:01:41]

On the fringe of the gray North Sea[00:01:46]

Oh had they died by Pearse's side[00:01:51]

Or fought with Cathal Brugha[00:01:57]

Their names we'd keep where the Fenians sleep[00:02:01]

'Neath the shroud of the foggy dew[00:02:06]

But the bravest fell and the solemn bell[00:02:12]

Rang mournfully and clear[00:02:17]

For those who died that Eastertide[00:02:22]

In the springtime of the year[00:02:27]

And the world did gaze with deep amaze[00:02:32]

At those fearless men but few[00:02:37]

Who bore the fight that freedom's light[00:02:42]

Might shine through the foggy dew[00:02:47]

But down through the glen I rode again[00:02:52]

And my heart with grief was sore[00:02:58]

For I parted then with valiant men[00:03:02]

Whom I never shall see no more[00:03:08]

And to and fro in my dreams I go[00:03:13]

And I kneel and I pray for you[00:03:18]

For slavery fled oh glorious dead[00:03:23]

When you fell in the foggy dew[00:03:28]
