Gallipoli - The Fureys/Davey Arthur[00:00:00]
I remember the day it stands clear in my mind[00:00:29]
We stood down to Dun Laoighaire to wave you goodbye[00:00:34]
Your ma was quietly weeping there was a tear in my eye[00:00:40]
As they sent you to Gallipoli to die[00:00:45]
You looked so young[00:00:50]
As you stood there with a glint in your eye[00:00:52]
And you sang rebel songs as the streamers flew high[00:00:56]
Your ma turned away and I heard her sigh[00:01:01]
For you are sailing to Gallipoli to die[00:01:07]
You were all that we had your mammy and me[00:01:12]
When you marched head erect you were proud as could be[00:01:18]
And it killed your poor ma and it slowly killed me[00:01:23]
When you were blown to kingdom come on the shores of Gallipoli[00:01:29]
We got only the one letter and we knew right away[00:01:36]
It said deepest regrets your son was bold and he was brave[00:01:41]
You were only 18 yet your mammy and I[00:01:47]
Let you go to Gallipoli to die[00:01:52]
You were all that we had your mammy and me[00:01:58]
When you marched head erect you were proud as could be[00:02:04]
And it killed your poor ma and it slowly killed me[00:02:09]
When you were blown to kingdom come on the shores of Gallipoli[00:02:15]
You fought for the wrong country[00:02:21]
You died for the wrong cause[00:02:24]
And your ma often said that it was Ireland's great loss[00:02:27]
All those fine young men[00:02:33]
Who marched to foreign shores to fight the war[00:02:35]
When the greatest war of all was at home[00:02:38]
You were all that we had your mammy and me[00:02:44]
When you marched head erect you were proud as could be[00:02:49]
And it killed your poor ma and it slowly killed me[00:02:55]
When you were blown to kingdom come on the shores of Gallipoli[00:03:00]
You were all that we had your mammy and me[00:03:06]
When you marched head erect you were proud as could be[00:03:12]
And it killed your poor ma and it slowly killed me[00:03:17]
When you were blown to kingdom come on the shores of Gallipoli[00:03:23]
