philomena begley - tones grave lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
in bodenstown churchyard there lies a green grave
and freely around it let winter winds rave
small shelter i ween are the ruined walls there
as the storm sweep down on the plains of kildare

[verse 2]
once i lay on the sod, it lies over wolfe tone
and thought how he perished in prison alone
his friends, unavenged, and his country unfreed
oh, bitter, i thought, was this patriot’s meed

[verse 3]
i awoke from my dream by the voices and tread
of a band, who came into the home of the dead
thеy carried no corpse, and they carriеd no stone
and they stopped when they came to the grave of wolfe tone

[verse 4]
they were students and peasants, the wise and the brave
and an old man who knew him from cradle to grave
and children who thought me hard+hearted for they
on that sanctified sod, were forbidden to play

[verse 5]
in bodenstown churchyard there is a green grave
and wildly around it let winter winds rave
far better they suit him, the ruin and the gloom
till ireland, a nation, can build him a tomb
[cheers]
