Old Bog Road - Shannon Singers[00:00:00]
My feet are here on broadway[00:00:09]
This blessed harvest morn[00:00:12]
But oh the ache that's in me[00:00:16]
For the spot where I was born[00:00:20]
My weary hands are blistered[00:00:24]
Through work in cold and heat[00:00:28]
And oh to swing a scythe[00:00:33]
Through a field of irish wheat[00:00:37]
Had I the chance to wander back[00:00:41]
Or own a king's abode[00:00:45]
I'd sooner see the hawthorn tree[00:00:49]
By the old bog road[00:00:53]
My mother died last springtime[00:00:57]
When erin's fields were green[00:01:01]
The neighbours said her waking[00:01:05]
Was the finest ever seen[00:01:09]
There were snowdrops and primroses[00:01:13]
Piled high above her bed[00:01:17]
And ferns church was crowded[00:01:21]
When her funeral mass was read[00:01:25]
And here was I on broadway[00:01:29]
A building bricks per load[00:01:33]
When they carried out her coffin[00:01:37]
Down the old bog road[00:01:41]
Ah life's a weary puzzle[00:02:10]
Past finding out by man[00:02:13]
I'll take the day for what it's worth[00:02:17]
And do the best I can[00:02:22]
Since no one cares a rush for me[00:02:26]
What need is there to moan[00:02:30]
So God be with you Ireland[00:02:34]
And the old bog road[00:02:38]
