wolfe tones - the 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,
and one fine easter monday, with his gallant comrades,
he started away for to set ireland free.

so all around my hat i wear a tricolour ribbon,
all around my hat until death comes to me,
and if anybody’s asking why i’m wearing that ribbon,
it’s all for my true love i ne’er more shall 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 the wee birds are singing ‘old ireland arise’.”

so all around my hat i wear a tricolour ribbon,
all around my hat until death comes to me,
and if anybody’s asking why i’m wearing that ribbon,
it’s all for my true love i ne’er more shall see!

his bandolier around him, his bright bayonet shining,
his short service rifle, a beauty to see,
there was joy in his eyes, though he left me repining,
and started away to set ireland free.

so all around my hat i wear a tricolour ribbon,
all around my hat until death comes to me,
and if anybody’s asking why i’m wearing that ribbon,
it’s all for my true love i ne’er more shall see!

in prayer and in waiting the dark days p-ssed over,
the roar of the guns brought no message to me,
i prayed for old ireland, i prayed for my true love,
that he might be safe and old ireland be free.

so all around my hat i wear a tricolour ribbon,
all around my hat until death comes to me,
and if anybody’s asking why i’m wearing that ribbon,
it’s all for my true love i ne’er more shall see!

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