Lyrics

[ti:The Foggy Dew]
[ar: The Chieftains]
[00:12.67] the foggy dew
[00:15.02] As down the glen one Easter morn
[00:24.68] To a city fair rode I,
[00:33.38] There armed lines of marching men
[00:42.29] In squadrons passed me by.
[00:49.79] No pipe did hum,no battle drum
[00:58.24] Did sound its loud tattoo
[01:09.20] But the Angelus'bells o'er the Liffey swells
[01:20.05] Rang out in the foggy dew.
[01:33.81] Right proudly high in Dublin town
[01:39.16] Hung they out a flag of war.
[01:44.37] 'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky
[01:49.97] Than at Suvla or Sud el Bar.
[01:55.32] And from the plains of Royal Meath
[02:00.87] Strong men came hurrying through;
[02:06.12] While Brittania's Huns with their long-range guns
[02:11.25] Sailed in through the foggy dew.※※※※※※※※※※
[02:27.66] The bravest fell,and the requiem bell
[02:33.06] Rang mournfully and clear
[02:38.21] For those who died that Easter-tide
[02:43.66] In the springing of the year.
[02:48.86] While the world did gaze with deep amaze
[02:54.21] At those fearless men but few
[02:59.32] Who bore the fight that freedom's light
[03:05.33] Might shine through the foggy dew.※※※※※
[03:30.59] And back through the glen I rode again
[03:45.04] And my heart with grief was sore
[03:54.65] For I parted then with valiant men
[04:04.20] Whom I never shall see more
[04:12.50] But to and fro
[04:17.26] In my dreams I go
[04:21.21] And I kneel and pray for you
[04:31.27] For slavery fled
[04:37.97] Oh,glorious dead
[04:46.82] When you fell in the foggy dew
