the wolfe tones - tri-coloured ribbon lyrics

Loading...

i had a true love if ever a girl had one
i had a true love, a brave lad was he
one fine easter monday with his gallant comrades
he started away for to make ireland free

(chorus)
for all around my hat i wear a tri-coloured ribbon
all around my hat until death comes to me
and if anybody’s asking me ‘why do i wear it?’
it’s all for my own true love i never more will see

he whispered “goodbye love, old ireland is calling”
high over dublin our tri-colour flies
in the streets of the city the foeman is falling
and wee birds are whistling “old ireland, arise”

(chorus)
for all around my hat i wear a tri-coloured ribbon
all around my hat until death comes to me
and if anybody’s asking me ‘why do i wear it?’
it’s all for my own true love i never more will see

in praying and watching the dark hours p-ssed over
the roar of the guns brought no message to me
i prayed for old ireland, i prayed for my lover
that he might be safe and old ireland be free

(chorus)
for all around my hat i wear a tri-coloured ribbon
all around my hat until death comes to me
and if anybody’s asking me ‘why do i wear it?’
it’s all for my own true love i never more will see

the struggle was ended, they brought me the story
the last whispered message he sent unto me
“i was true to my land, love, i fought for her glory
and gave up my life for to make ireland free”

(chorus)
for all around my hat i wear a tri-coloured ribbon
all around my hat until death comes to me
and if anybody’s asking me ‘why do i wear it?’
it’s all for my own true love i never more will see
