Gallipoli (加利波利) - The Fureys[00:00:00]
I remember the day it[00:00:25]
Stands clear in my mind[00:00:28]
We stood down at dun laoighaire[00:00:31]
To wave you goodbye[00:00:35]
Your ma was quietly weeping[00:00:38]
There was a tear in my eye[00:00:40]
As they sent you[00:00:43]
To Gallipoli to die[00:00:45]
You looked so young as you stood there[00:00:51]
With a glint in your eye[00:00:54]
And you sang rebel songs[00:00:57]
As the streamers flew high[00:01:00]
Your ma turned away[00:01:04]
And I heard her sigh[00:01:06]
For you are sailing[00:01:09]
To Gallipoli to die[00:01:11]
You were all that we had[00:01:15]
Your mammy and me[00:01:18]
When you marched[00:01:21]
Head erect[00:01:23]
You were proud as could be[00:01:24]
And it killed your poor ma and it slowly killed me[00:01:27]
When you were blown to kingdom come[00:01:33]
On the shores of Gallipoli[00:01:36]
We only got[00:01:50]
The one letter[00:01:51]
And we knew right away[00:01:53]
It said deepest regrets[00:01:56]
Your son was bold and he was brave[00:01:59]
You were only 18[00:02:02]
Yet your mammy and I[00:02:05]
Let you go to Gallipoli to die[00:02:08]
You were all that we had[00:02:14]
Your mammy and me[00:02:17]
When you marched[00:02:20]
Head erect[00:02:22]
You were proud as could be[00:02:23]
And it killed your poor ma[00:02:26]
And it slowly killed me[00:02:29]
When you were blown to kingdom come[00:02:32]
On the shores of Gallipoli[00:02:35]
You fought for the wrong country[00:02:40]
You died for the wrong 'cause[00:02:43]
And your ma[00:02:46]
Often said you were the bravest of all[00:02:48]
All those fine young men marched[00:02:52]
To foreign shores to fight the wars[00:02:55]
When the greatest loss of all[00:02:58]
Was at home[00:03:01]
He were all that we had[00:03:04]
Your mammy and me[00:03:07]
When you marched[00:03:10]
Head erect[00:03:12]
You were proud as could be[00:03:13]
And it killed your poor ma[00:03:16]
And it slowly killed me[00:03:19]
When you were blown to kingdom come[00:03:22]
On the shores of Gallipoli[00:03:25]
You were all that we had[00:03:28]
Your mammy and me[00:03:31]
When you marched[00:03:34]
Head erect[00:03:36]
You were proud as could be[00:03:37]
And it killed your poor ma[00:03:40]
And it slowly killed me[00:03:43]
When you were blown to kingdom come[00:03:46]
On the shores of Gallipoli[00:03:49]
