Box Set: 1964-2004 lyrics

See the bright new moon is rising,

Above the land of black and green

Hear the rebels voices calling,

I will not die 'till you bury me

The aunt upstairs in the bed she is calling,

Why has he forsaken me

Faded pictures in the hallway,

Which one of them brown ghosts is he

Bless the wind that shakes the barley,

Curse the spade and curse the plough

I was lured by the rocking horse

Sweets and the bualadh bos

Fifty wild boys to a room

Sing lámh, lámh eile, the dish ran away with the spoon

Black shoes and stockings for those who say don't
Blue is the colour outside

God made the world

The snake tempted Eve and she died

Wild Christian brothers sharpening their leathers

Learn it by heart, that's the rule
