| GALLIPOLI (Swan/Doyle) I remember the day it stands clear in my mind We went down to Dun Laoighaire to wave you goodbye Your ma was quietly weeping, there was a tear in my eye your sailing to Gallipoli to die You looked so young as you stood there with a glint in your eye and you sang rebel songs as the streamers flew high Your ma she turned away and I heard her sigh you are sailing to Gallipoli to die Chorus: You were all that we had, your mammy and me when you marched head erect you were proud as could be but it killed your poor ma and it slowly killing me when you were blown to kingdom come on the shores of Gallipoli We got only one letter we knew right away It said deepest regrets your son was bold and he was brave you were only 19 yet your mammy and I let you sail to Gallipoli to die Chorus You fought for the wrong country you fought for the wrong cause and your ma often said that it was Ireland's great loss all those fine young men who marched to foreign shores to fight the war when the greatest war of all was at home Chorus |
